I did all those things before I even desperately called for help. safe mode, refresh, new profile and so on. the only change in safe mode was faster start-up. and then the freeze again. Now I did downgrade as you suggested - was much better then I updateD again ( update-manager was nagging me -:) ) . Today the 70th version came up and so far for few hours I have my beloved Firefox and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS back to normal. Hopefully ...Is it OK to wait few days more before closing it, to be sure all is really well?
