From the release notes:

"Firefox will now protect you against running older versions of the browser which can lead to data corruption and stability issues"

Does anyone know what that means?  For example, are they literally forcing users with older Firefox desktop versions like FF v64 and FF v65 to upgrade to the latest FF v67?

I'm wondering if this is some sort of fallout from the recent fiasco with the expired certificate that disabled all browser extensions (see Krusty13's A Glitch Is Breaking All Firefox Extensions) when Mozilla realized how difficult it was going to be to push an "emergency" update to users who had disabled both Shield Studies and automatic updates.
