The error message is : Error BrokenCount>0 & tells me that this usually means 
that my "installed packages have unmet dependencies".
********************************************

Pirated ? Unmet dependencies ?  what's the relationship ?

But you really should not have that version installed; the valid ones
are 45 (main) or 59 (security)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox

So open a terminal, and run:
- sudo apt-get clean
- sudo apt-get autoclean
- sudo apt-get autoremove

If you have installed some ppa's packages, then use ppa-purge to set
back the genuine version.

- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
- sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
- sudo apt-get install -f
- sudo dpkg --configure -a

If firefox 59 has not been proposed for upgrade, then your system needs
more serious tech support. You should glance at dsmeg log errors to get
an idea of the problems.

Note that xenial (LTS) can be upgraded to the next LTS (bionic) too.
Simply read & follow the steps : https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-
to-ubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic-beaver

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
