Package: firefox-esr Version: 68.4.2esr-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I had Firefox ESR 60.8.0esr installed and running, with few tabs. Then I initiated the apt dist-upgrade which did upgrade firefox to 68.4.2esr-1. Already running Firefox stopped working correctly. I can't open new tabs or duplicate tabs, opening some websites is problematic. Eventually it got into really bad state, and I can't even switch tabs now. I see plenty of errors in the terminal from running Firefox, like: ###!!!

I am not sure it is fully solvable tho, i.e. if new tabs are started from scratch using fork+execve, and they need to read old binaries and libraries again from the file system, but they are either changed or gone. Still, not nice from the user perspective. Maybe some kind of warning in the Firefox UI would be good to have to indicate that no new tabs can be opened, and the Firefox need to be restarted immedietly due to upgrade of the binaries.
