Ah yes, you are right. As long as for a single "version" you use the same build id style you should be fine. -- 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: Won't Fix Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
