For what it's worth, my kids encountered this on two desktops today,
moving from 16.04 to 18.04. As this would be a major issue for non-
technical folk I'd urge getting the fix out the door sooner rather than
later - especially on 18.04, to preserve LTS as being a safe choice.
The workaround I used here, prior to being shown this bug, was to let
Firefox make a new profile and to follow these instructions to copy over
all the critical files:
