Dan, yes, something clearly needs to be done to prevent similar problems from happening again with future updates. This was discussed in the upstream bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553554, but no consensus was reached.
I am considering replicating what the Debian maintainers do, i.e. set MOZ_BUILD_DATE to the timestamp of the last debian/changelog entry (https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla- team/firefox/blob/release/master/debian/upstream.mk#L33). This is not foolproof though, as it will still require making sure that the changelog timestamp is exactly the same for all Ubuntu releases. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1553554 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553554 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851936 Title: User profile won't load after upgrade - prompt to create new profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1851936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
