While you're right technically...
...Any software that refuses to start with no meaningful error message when all you've done is upgrade versions fits into the "pre-1.0 release" realm in my book. :)

Well, you screw with it'sd settings all the time.
WTF you expect?
Internet Explorer does the same thing... the only difference it start with a "sane" set of defaults should things be borked.
Personally I'd rather it fail... quietly no... but fail none the less.

Actually, no, I don't.
Prior to the breakage experienced last week, I hadn't installed anything new into Mozilla in at least a couple of months. I'd been through quite a few minor upgrades to Moz, and none of those broke.
I think the last thing I installed was one of those tab extensions you'd pointed to a while back. I had that and the User Agent Switcher installed. That's really about it.
The UA switcher hasn't made it back into my latest install yet cuz I haven't had a burning need for it.
And I still hold that an application that fails because it can't read its own configuration file(s) and gives the user no reason as to why (even when run under strace mozilla) is pre-1.0. If it wants to fail, that's perfectly alright. But tell me "Unknown configuration element at /home/mike/.mozilla/default/mumble/prefs.js, Line 103: Element glarblefark=Y not known."

Hand scribed notes of the creator.
Wow ;-)

Re: And we have read...
One of the creator's obsequious minions saw fit to inscribe therein, a missive from the creator himself!

Sounds like y'all got the redacted version
The originals are still safely hidden from those who have not tasted the true fruit of knowledge.

But I have tasted...
...and the fruit is sweet.
But to witness creation as opposed to just admiring the results of said creation...priceless.
I have seen the Power and the Glory.
