Hi All,
SL 7.3
firefox-55.0.2.x64.tar.bz2
tar.bz2? Is this a downloaded from Mozilla?
yup. I have to be up to date, as I support multiple Windows
customers and they all all up to date.
Scientific Linux 7.2 (RHEL clone)
$ cat /etc/redhat-release: Scientific Linux release 7.3 (Nitrogen)
uname -r: 3.10.0-693.1.1.el7.x86_64
I just ran an update on Scientific Linux 7.3. Firefox will
no longer start, including safe mode or the profile manager.
Firefox goes straight through to the crash reporter.

Any words of wisdom?
In the mean time, is there a way to tell YUM to uninstall
yesterday's updates?
You can "rollback" and "undo" "yesterday's" (Wednesday's ?) updates with
the "yum history" command *if the history_record config option has been
set (I don't know whether or not it is set by default)*.
If not, the packages updated with dates are listed in /var/log/yum.log
- you could downgrade them explicitly, though the log doesn't (on SL6)
record the replaced version number so you would have to find those
some other way.
