After upgrading to firefox amd64 74.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (using apt-get), a message appeared in the running Firefox session: 'Firefox needs to be restarted' (as usual, nothing wrong with that). After clicking ok (or 'do it now' or what the exact message was), Firefox terminates.
Expected behaviour: Firefox actually restarts
Experienced behaviour: Nothing seemed to happen. Firefox terminated but never came back. (Starting Firefox again by hand worked flawlessly.)
I have no profiles defined. I don't usually pass any options when starting Firefox.
