Title:
  Firefox man page is severely out of date

Status in manpages:
  Unknown
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS) the manpage for Firefox reports a date of
  2011-02-09 (!)

  The man page mentions the -private flag, which has been replaced by
  --private-window quite some time ago and to make matters worse,
  -private actually _breaks the private mode_ until firefox gets
  restarted.

  firefox --help shows the new flags that are available.

  The report on Mozilla's bugtracker has been dismissed, because the man
  page is apparently distro-provided.

  A bug has also been filed for Fedora 26 (man page date 2001) here:
