I tried administrollaattori's commands and bingo it's all coming back. Many thanks to you both administrollaattori and Flemur...my headache is beginning to get better! Great stuff guys. Most appreciative.

Thanks again Flemur. One thought: if I uninstall/reinstall Firefox, would it solve the problem? I would of course first backup my home files. On this machine I am running a dual partition with 18.3 and 18.2. 18.2 is the one with the Firefox issue. Is Pluma the editor of Mate? Never used it. I very r...

I appreciate your help Flemur but I am losing it...I was hoping that the task would be simpler...I'll keep trying. I have Firefox on two other machines so I haven't lost everything. Thanks again.

Thanks Flemur but your command doesn't work: "No such file or directory"

Sorry...I'm in trouble again through my own fault. I tried to change back the size of menu bars with about:config (pix> layout.css.devPixelsPerPx) from 1.50 to 1.25 but I typed 1.35 instead and now Firefox won't open. Is it fixable? Thanks.

Hello, riki. Although Flemur had already suggested something this effect in his post, let me state quite clearly: Linux Mint Update Manager offers updated software packages only for software which has been installed on your system before. To use your example of Mate and Cinnamon: Provided on your s...

There might be the chance, that there is a Cinnamon library used in the Mate DE. Mark the update and see in the description below, which package will actually be updated. If this is an update for a package, which gets used in Mate, than you should apply the update.

I get you. Thanks.

I have been updating everything that comes through on Levels 1, 2 and 3 (recently quit 4 and 5 to avoid problems) and my question is: should I allow EVERY single update? In other words, for example, if I am running Mate, should I allow a Cinnamon update? Or is a Cinnamon update automatically ignore...

Thanks Marziano. I have reinstated Level 3.

From now on I will only update levels 1 and 2.

See my reply to this conclusion here please: Re: Sylvia 18.3 desaster

Get your point karlchen. Thanks, level 3 reinstated.

It did the job. Thanks again Marziano. From now on I will only update levels 1 and 2.

Many thanks Moem. I did what you say a few times and it didn't work. Just tried a few hours later and it worked! Strange. Thanks again for coming in. From now on I will only update levels 1 and 2.

I can't get passed "b". It says "incorrect password".

Many thanks Marziano. I'll try your instructions later today when I get back home.

Suddenly, 18.3/mate/32-bit won't start and I've had to install Sonya 18.2 (dual partition) to recover my home files. Have had glitches with Sylvia from day one but never expected it to break. I keep trying to logon but no joy. Any ideas?

I am running 18.2 Mate 32 bit (Sylvia 18.3 is horrible, never had so many problems with other Linux OSs). Can somebody kindly tell me how to increase font sizes in menu bars on Firefox? I should be very grateful.

Thanks minitux but none of your commands work, my password is not accepted. See output below.
