Are you using one that has Nvidia graphics with the Nvidia N4200M? If so, you have it working using the Optimus packages? I'll pass that info back when I receive confirmation - that may well explain why the person in debian-laptop is having lockups. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater > > David >

Hi David, do you have reasons to use Firefox ESR? I have been using Mozilla's builds for Forefox and I have been happy with them. On the other hand, builds form Linux distributions lack of support for non-free parts of Firefox like DRM and these builds don't allow users to watch protected content like video and video streams. So my advice is - use the builds from Mozilla.org, it seems that you use AMD64 architecture which is supported architecture by Mozilla.org I downloaded and installed firefox-95.0.1.tar.bz2 from Mozilla. The Firefox extensions are working as expected, and the Firefox / Xfce desktop stability problems seem to have gone away. Unfortunately, this only seems to be true on the Dell Latitude E6520 (Optimus graphics) with Debian 9. On Debian 10, Amazon video locks up within a minute to two. On Debian 11, Amazon video locks up within ~30 minutes. David

Icons display fine here, but in any case, you should be able to configure your add-ons from about:addons (or burger menu -> Add-ons, or Ctrl-Shift-A).

Hi David, do you have reasons to use Firefox ESR? I have been using Mozilla's builds for Forefox and I have been happy with them. On the other hand, builds form Linux distributions lack of support for non-free parts of Firefox like DRM and these builds don't allow users to watch protected content like video and video streams. So my advice is - use the builds from Mozilla.org, it seems that you use AMD64 architecture which is supported architecture by Mozilla.org Kind regards Georgi That is a possibility, and I have done it in the past.
