I read MrFixit's update script and found that it was checking which version had been run previously on the system. Renamed the thing it was checking for and ran the update script again - Firefox is back and working (in safe mode). Version 1.5 seems to have remedied my issue.
TL;DR - if you have a Firefox install that wasn't part of the default image, remove it before upgrading to 1.5.
I come from this thread trying to reinstall firefox that was broken when changing the user name, home or render mode...
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...30&page=10
I have uninstalled firefox and firefox-esr and remove and erased /home/rock/.mozilla
with:
Code:$ sudo apt purge firefox firefox-esr
$ sudo apt remove firefox firefox-esr
$ rm -rf ~/.mozilla
And then running the script to upgrade doesn't install firefox. It first update something I don't know, an the second time says thas it's all updated.
How can I reinstall firefox version that came with de PBP?
Thanks
If you had changed the firefox packages prior to updating to v1.5 then you may need to manually reinstall the package. You can find it here:

Thank you Mr. Fixit2001, the firefox reinstallation worked perfectly!
For those who need it:
1. download the .deb firefox package from the git repository of Mr. Fixit2001
2. double click and install with gdebi.
3. in my case I needed to use the 'root' password, the 'rock' password didn't work for me.
