I also experienced similar, but in my case I have my usual aarch64 client with /home on a NFS mount using ff67. What happens is upon occasion mozilla apps (amongst others) from the server direct (using, for example, ssh -Y).
Firefox seems to change the LastOSABI in compatibility to Linux_x64_86-gcc3 from Linux_aarch64-gcc3 whereupon the next time I launch firefox from my habitual client I get the message (like above) > Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history > already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your > information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. -- 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.
