Title:
Firefox crashes repeatedly after system update
Status in ubuntu-mate:

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
How to reproduce:
- Download and install Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 LTS, Raspberry Edition, on a micro
SD card.
- Boot the Pi with that card, and launch Firefox. Everything's OK so far. By
the way, it's FF 54.0.
- Update everything either with Software Updater or with apt-get update +
apt-get upgrade.
- (Attempt to) launch Firefox again. It won't start at all, and all you'll
get will be a window repeatedly saying that Firefox has crashed, and proposing
to send a bug report.
I've initially noticed this issue on the latest (LTS) version of the
Raspberry Edition of Ubuntu Mate (16.04.2), and afterwards reproduced
it on the 32-bit version of the Desktop Edition (16.04.3), so it's not
a Raspberry-specific issue. But, oddly enough, not on the 64-bit
version, where Firefox was updated from 54.0 to 56.0 and kept running
fine. I did not try more recent versions of the Desktop Edition (17.04
or 17.10) because the latest available for the Pi is the 16.04.2.
I wish I could help more, by pinpointing precisely what has gone
wrong, but this is the first time I report a bug in Ubuntu, and I
don't know where to start the debugging.
Thanks for reading,
Marc
