jhorak, maybe you could take a look at this as a followup to bug 1170092?  We should try to fix this ASAP, since it's in Firefox 112 which ships to release in 1 week.

Otherwise any user who happens to inadvertently create a file called `/etc/firefox/defaults/pref` (due to misreading, or having-misread-in-the-past, instructions for setting default preferences) will have Firefox become entirely inoperable.

Otherwise [extrapolating from my own experience] any Linux user who happens to inadvertently create [or have-previously-created] a file called `/etc/firefox/defaults/pref` (due to misreading, or having-misread-in-the-past, instructions for setting default preferences) will have Firefox become entirely inoperable.
