Unfortunately, this version of firefox appears to hang at start unless it is started passing an url. Namely: firefox hangs, while firefox lwn.net does not hang. I have quickly tried working with a clean profile and firefox 85 seems to start fine with that. Yet, the profile is not broken: if I downgrade to firefox 84 and restore my profile from a backup, then firefox 84 works just fine. So the issue seems to be that firefox 85 has issues in working with profiles that are totally fine with firefox 84. This breaks migration from firefox 84 to firefox 85. Issue is totally reproducible: downgrade to firefox 84 restore profile from firefox 84 from backup work with firefox 84 (OK) upgrade to firefox 85 try to work with firefox 85 (KO) Please consider that having to reset a profile is a form of data loss. In a modern browser, the profile includes extensions, passwords, data from web apps and more. Because this bug makes it impossible to apply a security update (firefox 85 is marked as such and shipped via the security channel), this bug is particularly serious.
