Did you use a tool to backup your data? The reason I'm asking. Sometimes when Firefox goes through a major change, I want a fresh start but want to keep my data, bookmarks and installed add-ons as well if possible. Just wondering how you did it, tool to do it or what? What does it not save if anything. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. There's a upcoming news item about Pipewire being the default. May want to prepare yourself. :/ I saw it being reviewed on -dev.
