Title:
  After each upgrade Firefox becomes very unstable and usually requires
  the profile to be deleted

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time Firefox is upgraded it becomes unstable and hard to use.
  Sometimes it freezes when it starts up and it can't be used again, and
  other times it works for a bit and then freezes occasionally. Quite
  annoying.

  The only way to get around this is to delete my ~/.mozilla profile
  directory. Although I use Sync, it's still really annoying and a total
  waste of time. (since sync doesn't actually sync everything!)
