@VinsS: it looks like you manually worked around the issue, I assume
you're not seeing the problem any longer?
@Paul: if you can still observe the issue on 18.04, can you please share
the output of the following commands:
apt policy firefox
grep firefox /var/log/apt/history.log
grep -H LastVersion ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/compatibility.ini

Title:
firefox 67.0.1 lost my profile
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On bionic, Firefox was upgraded to 67.0.1 this morning (7 June).
When I launch firefox I've a message like this
"Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing
history already saved to an existing profile. To protect your
information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox."
And I've just one option: Create a new profile.
Of course, this new profile ignore all my bookmarks, identification,
password, etc.
I've tried:
-1 Erase the new profile folder and the installs.ini file, rewrite the
profiles.ini with the name of my old profile. Same problem.
-2 run firefox -p into a terminal to choose my old profile. Same
problem, rejected.
It's strange the message box is saying "Using an older version of
Firefox", why old ?
