I am too having this bug on natty with 9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1

I must say that I get a very unrespectful impression of the behaviour of
the package.  User settings should be holy and never be touched /
corrupted.

Is uninstalling the ubuntu-support package for firefox a fix here?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Whenever firefox is updated, the setting for
  middlemouse.contentLoadURL is forgotten in my profiles.

  To simulate this:

  0) go to "about:config" and set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to "true"
  1) close firefox
  2) remove .mozilla/firefox/[profile]/compatibility.ini
  3) open firefox
  4) observe setting has reverted to "false"
