Thanks for following up. I did try installing FireFox a couple more times but with no success. More recently i installed it using the snap and it appears to be functioning fine.
I always assumed that I had some 'artifact' of a previous FireFox install or another application that caused this problem. Just wasn't smart enough to find & correct it. --------------------------------------------------------- Brent Crossland [email protected] On Sat, Nov 10, 2018 at 4:30 AM Paul White <[email protected]> wrote: > Brent, > > We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all > reported bugs in a timely manner.
