Bug Description
How to reproduce:
- Download and install Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 LTS, Raspberry Edition, on a micro SD card.
- Boot the Pi with that card, and launch Firefox. Everything's OK so far. By the way, it's FF 54.0.
- Update everything either with Software Updater or with apt-get update + apt-get upgrade.
- (Attempt to) launch Firefox again. It won't start at all, and all you'll get will be a window repeatedly saying that Firefox has crashed, and proposing to send a bug report.
I've initially noticed this issue on the latest (LTS) version of the Raspberry Edition of Ubuntu Mate (16.04.2), and afterwards reproduced it on the 32-bit version of the Desktop Edition (16.04.3), so it's not a Raspberry-specific issue. But, oddly enough, not on the 64-bit version, where Firefox was updated from 54.0 to 56.0 and kept running fine. I did not try more recent versions of the Desktop Edition (17.04 or 17.10) because the latest available for the Pi is the 16.04.2.
I wish I could help more, by pinpointing precisely what has gone wrong, but this is the first time I report a bug in Ubuntu, and I don't know where to start the debugging.
Thanks for reading,
Marc

Hello,
Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3 is available for the Raspberry Pi. Could you try with this release ? Which version of Firefox produces the issue ?
Best regards.
