Bug Description

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 I've done sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean with firefox opened and while doing this command line updates I restarted firefox, since it asks me to restart to apply newer version and this bug happened
