Hello @etienne-papegnies
Thanks for the explanation. In the meantime, I have uninstalled Firefox and 
started using only Chromium on that RPi. I tried to upgrade to the latest 
version of Firefox, recently, hoping that it would solve the issue, but to no 
avail for now. Let's hope the Firefox devs will be able to solve this rapidly.

Title:
  Firefox crashes repeatedly after system update

Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Invalid
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

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
