The current version of firefox crashes (linux, message "undefined symbol: FcConfigReference") - how do I stop Firefox prompting to upgrade?
I am running on an old SLED-11 linux box and while Firefox ESR 38.6.0 runs OK, new versions crash with "symbol lookup error: /opt/mozilla/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: FcConfigReference"

Note that the current version is 38.8.0 ESR that has still be maintained:
Doesn't that version work as well?
This issue looks font related (fontconfig):
- http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/search?string=FcConfigReference
- http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/gfx/thebes/gfxFcPlatformFontList.h
Try this in user.js to see if that allows a newer version:
user_pref("gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.fontlist.enabled", false);
The user.js change didn't fix the problem with Firefox 45: crashes the same. But ESR 38.8.0 runs OK so I will use that. Thanks.
SLE 11 on a new install had GTK 2.18.9
Firefox as of 46.0 and newer requires GTK 3.4 or newer to run. Also needs a GTK 3 theme to theme Firefox.
