Re: [SLUG] Firefox 20.0 Problems in Mint Linux
That's a joy of Linux, stuff gets screwed up for no obvious reason. I'm really peaved now that my Terminology terminal stopped working showing similar symptons after I changed a config setting, now it won't let me get back to the same menu to change it to something else. I'd suggest fresh reinstall. That's what I'm about to do. It just may be quicker especially if you do it from a USB stick. I'd also try a different distro, like one of the ones people claim to be good: Arch Mint Bodhi MacPup etc just to learn something different.

Where you've got this version of Firefox? Is it came as part of standard Mint update or from an other source? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Firefox 20.0
Works fine in Mint 14 with various plugins and Mate desktop. Firefox was an upgrade, not a new install. My Firefox folder was has been carried over continually from earlier versions of Mint. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Firefox 20.0 Problems in Mint Linux
I am running a fresh install of Mint 13, with Firefox 20, all is good. This machine has jumped ship from Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE desktop because last week an update knocked out the icons on the app panel. The .mozilla folder was reintroduced to Mint from the prior Ubuntu system, no problems (except for the usual stupidity of Flash no longer being supported, etc). May I suggest: Backup (export) your bookmarks Record which plugins you have installed, also record anything you can't do without such as saved passwords etc. Rename your .mozilla folder Create an empty .mozilla folder with same profile.ini and random.default folder (this should help with migrating back to the original one in small steps) Progressively introduce plugins and settings from the old .mozilla Good luck -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
