This hit me on 18.04 and did kill my saturday morning - thank you very much.
Also a BIG THANK YOU to Graham Smith for pointing out why this bug exists - it is very important to take the role of the one that tells the truth even when it hurts sometimes. It is of course possible to write more softly, but sometimes it is needed to point out that something is really a bad idea if it is a really bad idea. It would be interesting to read why SourceStam was not used here and why was that BuildID implemented? Also this shows how important it is to better test migration from old systems to newer releases - I have the impression that this area is lacking serious efforts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830096 Title: Firefox 67 in Ubuntu 18.10 thinks it's an older version Status in Mozilla Firefox: Won't Fix Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Today I installed the Firefox 67 update on Ubuntu 18.04, then updated to Ubuntu 18.10. After this, launching Firefox gave me a "Using an older version of Firefox" message with only two options: create a new profile or quit. Apparently the Firefox 67 build for 18.10 thinks it's an older version than the Firefox 67 build for 18.04. For now I worked around the issue by manually installing the Firefox 67 build for Ubuntu 18.04, which did load the existing user profile correctly.
