Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Firefox Build 60.0.2 crashes on start
Firefox on Ubuntu crashes on start and can not be started by any means.
Quiting firefox does not resolve the issue. Re-starting firefox does not resolve the issue. Running firefox from the command line does not resolve the issue.
Have tried sudo apt-get remove, purge, etc. and installed over and FF continues to crash on start.

Hi, since no one is getting back to you, please try : a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
then
TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:
If is your Profile :
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Thanks for the reply. After deleting all directories and sudo-apt purging firefox and re-installing it and running firefox -p via CLI I setup a new profile and then when I attempted to start firefox using new profile:
firefox -P ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 13871 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
Is that trying to connect to Sync ?
I wonder if it is where you are getting your compile from ? Have you tried or can you use Firefox's -
Tried to run English firefox from the link you provided.
Was unable to get Ubuntu to run the script: ~/firefox/firefox
Running firefox from the CLI resulted in same crash. Also I attempted all the above after deleting the .mozilla dir in the /home/ dir which is generated each time firefox is run.
One thought worth mentioning. The firefox executable is set to default open with Wine.
Renaming firefox executable to .sh and running that results in this error:
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 26825 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
