Steps to reproduce:

Update my stable debian box using apt update and apt upgrade.

Firefox get upgraded from 115.5.0esr-1deb12u1 to 115.6.0esr-1deb12u1

Then launch firefox

Actual results:

It started but freezes as soon as the tabs are displayed. The active tab stays grey.

If started from console, I get the message : Exiting due to channel error.

Expected results:

start normally.

I tried with the same unsuccessfull result :
MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 firefox-esr
firefox-esr -safe-mode

I am able to start it with a new profile.

Created a debian bug, number : 1871155

Created a debian bug, number 1059171

The first number is wrowg (actually it is the number of this bug). I dont know how to erase it.

Downgrading to 115.5 does not solve the problem. It looks like the profile has been broken during the update process.
