The last one will also remove any packages you have compiled yourself or have installed with slapt-src. But you do want to run it if you want to be sure that you have a clean system.
The resultant of those steps was to upgrade Firefox to mozilla-firefox-52.2.0esr-x86_64-1gv. Unfortunately the issue persists (~/.mozilla being obscured). The only items installed from 13.37 was mozilla-firefox-45.9.0esr-x86_64-1gv as away to rollback, albeit new package gnome-vfs 2.24.4-x86_64-3gv was installed then as well.

OK, I still think it might be something to do with the theme. Make sure you have gnome-themes-standard installed and the following in your ~/.gtkrc-3.0:
$ cat .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-font-name = Sans Serif 9
gtk-icon-theme-name = simple
gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
$ nano .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
$ cat .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = mate-brave
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = false
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = mate
# slapt-get --search mate-icon

Thanks for the post, filip, as I have been in vain trying to get the current package of FF to work with oxygen-gtk. (Adwaita works, as noted in prior post, but it is not aesthetically pleasant.)
