Flash Message bewteen Grub & Login + Firefox startup problem

Asked by Rich.b

Home built PC
OS Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
480GB SSD
1 x 2TB HD

Since we have update our OS from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (a few days ago) Firefox has only shown a Blank screen at first start up, only the very top line is visible showing "Activities" then "Firefox Web Browser".
Nothing will work, the only thing that does is Quit.

Restarting Firefox the second time seems to work Okay.

I get a Flashed on message between Grub and Login which difficult to read.

I believe it said " /dev/mapper/ugubuntu-root: clean, 281481/22912672 files, 30317529/1168390208 blocks 3.1240781 mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty)

Your advice would be very helpful.

If you make another Firefox profile, is it OK there and starts as expected?

Thank you Andrew for your reply:

Yes I could, which I have now done following the link you kindly sent, but still not been to find how to get into Profile Manager to create a new Profile?

If I Quit them restart Firefox then my old profile works okay.

Or

If I use A NEW or another Profile it seems to work Okay.

Although changing Profiles is very difficult to do I find.

OK. Do you have any add ons in Firefox in the bad profile? If so, disable some and test

Can you help with this problem?
