Beware of Firefox's Latest Forced Fiasco
by enorbet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51QTC)
Greetings
I'm not sure many are in a similar position than I am since I haven't allowed automatic updates for Firefox ever since they disabled pure ALSA functionality. Nevertheless it is possible that others will behave as lazily as I recently have by not reading the Changelogs.
Recent versions of Firefox are incompatible with previous versions of Profiles. If you are not very careful you can lose all your Bookmarks, History, Passwords, etc. I don't wish to belabor the point, just make people aware of another fundamental change so that you read up first and take measures to secure your hard-earned work.
Good Luck.
