Ok, so the patch looks ok to me, though it would really need a build config peer to look at it. But we've discovered another issue related to how we compare the compatibility versions in bug 1554029 so we are going to be making changes to that. I suspect that what we change will still work for the suggestion above but while I realise this is an important issue for you it might be worth holding off any changes on your end until there is an accepted patch there. I'm hoping to have something written today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830096 Title: Firefox 67 in Ubuntu 18.10 thinks it's an older version Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Today I installed the Firefox 67 update on Ubuntu 18.04, then updated to Ubuntu 18.10. After this, launching Firefox gave me a "Using an older version of Firefox" message with only two options: create a new profile or quit. Apparently the Firefox 67 build for 18.10 thinks it's an older version than the Firefox 67 build for 18.04. For now I worked around the issue by manually installing the Firefox 67 build for Ubuntu 18.04, which did load the existing user profile correctly.
