   I have looked at the build log of QCoan in the OBS and it is using
gcc-8-8.3.0-6. That is even newer than what got installed by the 
updates. I would thus believe that the gcc bug is still there that 
prevents some Firefox version from building, but that I simply have not 
noticed this issue via the normal upgrade process.
   Another explanation would of course be that the two errors are unrelated.

   Friedhelm, how have you taken notice about this issue?
Was the file really not there or do you think you have forgotten to type 
firefox-esr instead of firefox or something the like?

  At me it apparently has really kept an old unfixed version.
The message says fixed for oldstable, not mentioning that the fix has 
not yet been achieved for i386 and that it was only applied to amd64.
