Right now, stable Firefox from mozilla.org binary. Previously, the firefox-esr package from Debian Stable, installed and removed using apt. > > root@debian-NUCi5:~# update-alternatives --list x-www-browser > > /usr/bin/chromium > > /usr/bin/epiphany-browser > > /usr/bin/firefox > > /usr/bin/surf > > Please post the output of > > update-alternatives --config x-www-browser carlf@debian-NUCi5:~$ update-alternatives --config x-www-browser There are 4 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/bin/epiphany-browser 85 auto mode 1 /usr/bin/chromium 40 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/epiphany-browser 85 manual mode 3 /usr/bin/firefox 20 manual mode 4 /usr/bin/surf 30 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: Note that the current selection 3 was added after I posted (by manually creating a .desktop file). And that doing that had no effect on how rclone reacted--it still tried to launch a nonexistent firefox-esr. I worked around the problem by making a symbolic link from /usr/bin/chromium to /usr/bin/firefox-esr (because I do all my organizational Google stuff, and only Google stuff, using Chromium, to keep organizational Google stuff separate from my personal things). (Then I found out that rclone, despite having the motto "rsync for cloud storage", doesn't actually do what rsync does, which was disappointing.) -- Carl Fink c...@finknetwork.com https://reasonablyliterate.com https://nitpicking.com If you want to make a point, somebody will take the point and stab you with it. -Kenne Estes
