Public bug reported: When I upgrade Firefox via apt upgrade (or, more often, Update Manager) and open a new tab, Firefox shows a page telling me that it's been upgraded and I need to restart it before I can continue browsing.
There's a "Restart Firefox" button. I press it, Firefox quits, and then fails to restart. I have to start Firefox myself. This is similar to bug 80773, but that one was fixed back in 2012, so I think this is a new one.
