Re: Firefox URL line changed to blue

Have you tried switching the "theme" in Firefox back to "System theme - auto"? It could be the theme writer decided that they want a more blend-in URL bar. I had the Firefox Logo theme from years ago, the big Orange ball on the right, just disabled it, that left a grey URL blend...

Firefox URL line changed to blue --- [ Solved ]

This just occurred yesterday, I don't recall a Firefox update, but I never look at all of the updates, I just install them. the URL has changed to a Blue background and this makes trying to CUT a portion of the URL very difficult, for those of us who have Blue Blocker eyeglasses... it is nearly invi...

Re: Install or Upgrade?

I interpret that to mean it already exists, but you have the option to "install" a newer version.

or "upgrade the current version",
which is essentially the same thing.

I never bother to wonder about those cryptic messages, I just click INSTALL and let it go.

Timeshift to the Rescue

Last night, I used my daily driver laptop to make a full LM21.3 Cinnamon install on a 16GB flashdrive. of course, during that process, you have to tell it where to place " / " and that should have ONLY pertained to the install of Mint on the flash drive. but, alas, it wrote it to my laptop...

Re: New Messages When Shutting Down

I have Grub set to display startup and shutdown, so that I know it reached "target shutdown" and from there, I watch to see if the USB keyboard lights go out.

if not, trouble abounds, and I have to use the BIOS power button,
fortunately, that has been a long time ago now.

Re: Yet another reason I won't buy LG products.

I have a very old Samsung 30" wide monitor that I bought back around 2005
it uses the HMDI video cable or VGA or the 3 independent cables with RCA connectors ( gasp! )

on HDMI, it works just fine with a 20 year old Gateway desktop and LM21.3 Cinnamon.
Mint even knows what it is...
