Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and Firefox

Post by macamba »

My Firefox did not start today. What is it with Firefox that for the third time this year I have problems with it. Previously I got it working again by renaming my 'letterjumble.default-release' to 'letterjumble.default-release.old. and starting it. But now even that does not work. And each time it worked I had to import my bookmarks from the old installation. And each time I loose my newest bookmarks. And I have no joy with SeaMonkey as I can't find an working add blocker (Adblock plus discontinued, and uBlock Origin does not work either).

I use uBlock Origin version 1.13.8 with SM. Works fine.
