Is anyone also having problems with this update.
It does …nothing. Opening any URL results in a brief "connecting", then an empty page.
dnf downgrade returns me back to 69.0.1, looking for a more recent build in bodhi…

No problem here with firefox-72.0.1-1.fc31.x86_64 I just went to cnn.com and it displayed stuff normally (I don't usually use firefox, so this is probably the first time I months I've run it).

I held all Fedora updates for the last couple of weeks, and only updated firefox in order to pick up the critical vulnerability fix. I was planning to update fully again next week, but decided to just grab the firefox update now. The firefox 72 rpm installed without conflicts, but firefox just kept flipping me the finger, shaped like a blank page. It was not crashing, and there were no error messages if I ran it from a terminal. Just a big F. U. white screen.
On a few occasions, Firefox started to load my home page, but reached the conclusion that https://mail.google.com/u/0 – my home page – was corrupted.
I determined that this ust be a hidden ABI breakage with one of the dependent packages. Firefox 72 started working again after I installed all available updates.
I reproduced this on three different machines, this sequence of events: firefix update is broke by itself, but starts working once all available Fedora updates are installed. Or if I downgrade to 71.0.15. But I ran out of available machines to experiment with. They're all now fully updated.
But I grabbed the complete list of packages that was updated on one of the boxes, if anyone wishes to find the ABI breakage violator.
One of the following packages must have an ABI break in it, that the current firefox build has a dependency on:

Just for info, I installed F29 in a vm from scratch, and then upgraded to F31 from F29. The upgrade installed Firefox V72 and for me it worked fine (except under Wayland along with other packages). I don't normally use this version of Firefox, I use the nightly version of Firefox which is V74.0a1, and other than the Wayland issues it seems to work fine).

The upgrade would've installed all the latest updates, which wouldn't reproduce this exact scenario.

Thanks for the hint!
Can confirm it: seems upgrading nss helped:
Updated to Firefox 72.0.1-1.fc30 here, and got empty pages. Updated then nss, which in turn also upgraded a few more nss* packages plus nspr, and Firefox loads pages again.
Working here, so far:
