this is a major showstopper at our institute. we have 60+ ubuntu desktops with nfs-mounted homes and were postponing the switch from the last lts to this one for a while. but this cannot go on forever while availability of firefox is, obviously, crucial. i would classify this bug as "critical" and "urgent".
