The problem might be on Mozilla's end (some what).
The newest Firefox version as of today (3-22-24) is 124.0.1 when using the tarball. Since Firefox 124.0.0 was released this past Tuesday (3-19-24), looks like there was a problem with that version.

Re: 125 PetaFlops ought run LM21.3 handily
Concerning AI, I will play "Devil's Advocate" here.
With the above said, can you think of "Skynet" from a movie where the AI becomes self aware and decides the human race is inferior and needs to be terminated.

Re: Can not see temperatures of my CPU.
@ afterfx You are using Mint 21.3 and I am also using Mint 21.3. In your Menu, do you have a program listed under System named "System Reports"? If you do, then click on it and the Systems Report window will open. Then click on "System Information" and all system specifications w...

Re: How long have you been using Linux ?
I started to look at linux distros when Windows 8 was released in October of 2012. Demoed a few until I found Mint in January of 2013. Lurked on this site since that time and then registered on this site to become a member in December of 2013.

I am still playing around with Debian 12.4 (Bookworm) in the Xfce desktop environment. When you want to find your system's information, when using Mint Xfce, bring up the Menu, then in System, you click on the System Reports icon and then go to System Information. System Reports is installed by defa...

Re: Linux Mint 21.3 Release Date?
Mint 21.3 has been approved for stable release. Should be available once all the mirrors have it and then it should show up on the Mint home website.

Re: Cinnamon vs MATE vs XFCE
I have been using Mint with Xfce since 2013. It is very good for older machines, but it is great for newer machines as well. I rebuilt one of my desktop towers discarding old hardware and replacing it with all new hardware inside of it which you can see below. Combined with my ISP's download speed o...

If they are other ways to install Thorium without using the Terminal, I would use them. With the above said, if I was going to install...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you transposed some numbers concerning what version Libretto is. It is now at (23.1). Exactly correct. Thank you for noticing. I will edit to correct. Do you use it too? Yes, I do use MX 23.1 (Libretto) Xfce. It is on one of my two HP desktop tower computers whi...

Re: Non-Mint: MX Linux or Pop!_OS?
I've got 4 computers (2 desktop towers, 2 laptops). One desktop tower and one laptop run Linux Mint. The second desktop tower and the second laptop run MX Linux.
MX Linux is a very good linux distro. I've been running MX Linux for over one year now. I see no need to change from MX Linux either.

Re: shutdown button not clickable
Since your friend seems to have the shutdown button grayed out and can't shut down properly, I can make a suggestion since your friend is running Xfce. I run Xfce. 1) Open the Terminal 2) Type: sudo shutdown now 3) The Terminal will ask for your friend's password at the prompt 4) Type in the passwor...

Re: which xfce based distro do you prefer?
XFCE wise, for me I prefer MX Linux and Linux Mint. Comparing the two side by side is tough for me, but I give a slight edge in favor of MX over Mint simply because of the very, very slow download speed of the Firefox updates (no matter if a different mirror is used), which Mint has. The different m...

Re: Mint 22 open thread
What I would like to see in Mint 22. A much faster download speed for the Firefox browser. When I first see the update for Firefox, it usually is a 10-20 minute wait for the download to complete. No matter what the fastest mirror I switch to, even if it is 4 MB per second, it still is a 10-20 minute...

So clicking on five different bookmarks created five tabs when it should not have. Watefox paid no a...

Both Waterfox and Mercury are very similar to Firefox. But the newest version of Waterfox has, in my opinio...

Re: Waterfox Browser
since you do not care for the name, you probably will not like the new logo either. It's not that I don't care for it, it's confusing because if you do a search you end up with information about a discontinued browser. That's what I was trying to say. I don't know whether the current Mercury browse...
