[Bug 1734975] [NEW] Firefox man page severly out of date

[To]

Public bug reported:

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The man page mentions the -private flag, which has been replaced by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:
