I've update my firefox installation to firefox 61 on my ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, but after that update it doesn't work anymore. All I see is a blank tab and no command work, neither from mouse or keyboard, the only thing I can so is close the window. Here is a error code from the command line:

Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: File o directory non esistente Unable to init server: Impossibile connettersi: Connessione rifiutata

Is this a dual or multi headed ( multi display) setup? It would appear that something in that setup has changed or locked out the use of display=:1 from the user account in question
