Sounds good to me, I'm sure if successful it will be permanent, in the meantime we have Mint 22 to look forward to

Thanks

Hi, do you know if we have to change our sources back again at the end of testing & do they let us know when, or if it's adopted full time do we just keep those settings

I have decided to help out by becoming a beta tester for the new fastly repository by changing my software sources main to fastly.linuxmint.io Is anyone else doing this, I'm uncertain if once the testing is over if I have to change back to the server I was using previously & when will I know...

I still don't have any luck with Hypnotix, I guess the program itself is fine it's just the m3u link that is down, maybe it's been blocked for contractual reasons or something like that.

Yes I am sticking with FF but if we never try out new software we would be potentially be missing out, so it was worth taking a look but I agree sometimes "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

I'm happy with Firefox so I will probably stick with that, I do have Brave on my system too, I think it's good to have more than one browser. I'll put it down to personal taste then, always good to get others views.

Right, I understand now, I had not realised that it's based on Firefox ESR and not the mainline version, so the question now is simply is ESR safe as it is not as up to date

OK i'm confused, on that site it says "ensuring up-to-date security even before Firefox's releases." but in my Floorp in settings under the general tab it says Version 11.90.0 Firefox 115.7.0 whereas in Firefox itself the version is 122.0.1

Just out of interest I wondered if anyone is using this browser & if so do you regard it as an improvement on Firefox and why, also I noticed that as of time of writing this, it is based on Firefox 115.7.0 which is a few versions behind Firefox, my main concern of course is new security holes...

I have now found a satisfactory workaround but I don't know what the cause was. I have tried a multitude of different browsers all of which I had the problem with, Epiphany browser works fine but it's very minimal and does not allow add-ons so it's no use to me then finally I tried Waterfox &...

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I will post back if & when I have some success with this, I'll try all the suggestions one by one and see where it takes me

ok, i'm clutching at straws I guess

Could it be worth going back to 21.2, I was wondering about the experimental wayland stuff that's in 21.3, might that have something to do with it
