I too tried MX. One of the attractions was no systemd. Suspend worked perfectly when tested vs. Mint 18.3 which 10% of the time locked up the computer, but printer setup was a pain. All in all a very nice distro, and I will continue to tinker with it as new versions are released. My main OS is Mint ...

So a corrupt profile did this then after all? Was the only diagnosis that made any sense but I still wonder what issue would lead to such behaviour. We'll never know. ;) Yes, except the profile wasn't corrupt 'til ff 69.0! Has worked fine up until ff updated to v. 69.0. I really hate leaving this a...

maybe open about:config area in firefox and be sure this is set to integer 1. browser.download.folderList I read what you said happened, but don't see it in the screen capture you posted. Also in about:config area, you can put mouse in search, maybe find something in the radius detected area that w...

My apologies to the Ubuntu firefox maintainers! Seems there is something in my profile that causes this behavior in ff 69, although not in previous versions. Renaming .mozilla to .mozilla.old, and starting firefox, restoring bookmarks and adding shortcut in the toolbar--hovering/highlighting is norm...

Hi Karlchen, ~ $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 69.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 Candidate: 69.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 Version table: 69.0+linuxmint2+sylvia 700 700 http://packages.linuxmint.com sylvia/upstream amd64 Packages *** 69.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 900 500 http://archive.ubuntu...

Thanks both Lex & gm10, but I'm sure now it's a bug in the way that the (little star icon) show-bookmarks shortcut works. I have found that if I enable the menu bar, and activate bookmarks, all is well (behavior is normal) Since I dislike using the menu bar because it takes up valuable vertical real...

Lex, Reproducible on 1920x1080 (thinkpad t530), also on 1366x768 (t430), image posted is of Dell latitude running at 1600x900. I run all at native resolution, all running intel video. (i5 & i7 processors, also happens on old core2 duo machines running at native res with onboard intel video. Same com...

gm10,

Yes, I've always pinned firefox to the ubuntu repo, which is a day or two ahead of mint repos. Forgot about that--maybe some others will chime in when the mint version goes out. Thanks

If you look closely, you will see that the "metalworking" category (folder) is highlighted, but clearly, the links are those from the "woodworking" category.

Lex & gm10, thanks for your replies.

Lex,

A 5 second delay worked--thanks for the suggestion.

gm10,

I don't use the bookmarks toolbar, I use the bookmarks shortcut in the header bar. (star with underlining).
Screenshooter will not open simultaneously with the the bookmarks activated with this shortcut or I'd include a screenshot of the actual behavior.

Firefox updated yesterday to version 69.0, and I noticed an odd (annoying) behavior when using the bookmarks pulldown. My bookmarks are well organized into folders and subfolders--I've had them this way for years. In Firefox 69.0, when I run the mouse (or touchpad) cursor down the first column of fo...

With Firefox, on your mint 18 box: bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import and backup, backup--then choose your location. This will create a file like "bookmarks-2019-08-30.json" Then use this file to restore on the mint 19 box, only this time choosing restore, choose file--then navigate to the file y...

"is it down right now" website has been reporting archive.canonical.com down, all day. From my view, I think the problems started yesterday.

Try file, export--from libreoffice writer.

As an alternative, I set up a keyboard shortcut (alt+m) that I hit as soon as the laptop boots. Not as elegant as what rene is referring to, but easy to change as I switch mice sometimes.

Slider control for acceleration & sensitivity do exist in XFCE, under settings,mouse & touchpad. Are you using libinput or evdev? See my post above.

Hi philgm, Sounds like you've got the wrong device number. Try the following: xinput --list (to get device number e.g.:11) then: xinput --set-prop 11 "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 2.6 (11, & 2.6 are the numbers that I use, so substitute what works for you) One caution though. If you have swit...

What version are you running? The deb file for linux beta 2019 sp0 is 295mb. Installs and runs fine here, but somewhat buggy. Editing a toolbar then hitting apply, causes all previous toolbar edits to disappear. Also did not correctly import my previous settings from 2018 sp2.
