I'm not sure if Firefox was updated to Firefox 67 prior to my upgrade. I was not using any nightly or developer versions. Actual results: When loading Firefox an error window came up with the following text: > Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history > already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, > create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. Expected results: Firefox should have loaded my profile without issue.

It seems unfortunate that firefox uses MOZ_BUILD_DATE as its build ID (if I followed correctly the code path, see https://hg.mozilla.org /mozilla-central/file/tip/build/variables.py#l15). The official build from Mozilla might not be affected by that bug, but on Ubuntu we build firefox for each supported release (at present that's 16.04, 18.04, 18.10, 19.04 and the development series, 19.10), which means that the same package of firefox for two different Ubuntu releases will be getting different build IDs, and there's no way to guarantee that the build ID for release X will be < the build ID for release Y, where X < Y (other than building the packages sequentially, instead of in parallel).

I'm using the Ubuntu provided version, both before and after upgrading.
