Firefox 77.0.1 scrambles pages about ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-plus HOT 3 CLOSED

Mitigated in the release 20.06.1 by rolling Firefox back to the version 76.0.1.

For the case that you get the message You've launched an older version of Firefox please check Firefox version compatibility in Wiki.

In essence it explains, that if you want to keep using your previous Firefox profile, you have to replace the content of its- compatibility.ini file.

If it looks like this

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=77.0.1_20200602222727/20200602222727
LastOSABI=Linux_x86_64-gcc3
LastPlatformDir=/usr/lib/firefox
LastAppDir=/usr/lib/firefox/browser

then replace it with this:

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=76.0.1_20200507114007/20200507114007
LastOSABI=Linux_x86_64-gcc3
LastPlatformDir=/usr/lib/firefox
LastAppDir=/usr/lib/firefox/browser

You can also create and use a new profile, of course. With the FF Profile Manager, which you can find on the desktop, you can easily switch between several profiles.
