This was also reported in Ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1917191), by only 2 different users so far since the update to 86.0 was pushed to all supported Ubuntu releases. According to comment 7, this affects only users with an invalid color profile on Linux, which presumably/hopefully isn't such a large number of users.
I'm okay with distro-patching (the patch is trivial enough), but then why isn't the change being uplifted to the 86 branch? -- 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/1917191 Title: firefox will not start after it crashed unexpectedly Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: firefox crashed unexpectedly, and it will not start or restart.
