I feel a little silly (I should have known better - to disable extensions, then check).

I was running the Windscribe VPN Browser extension that has a setting called "Worker Block": Blocks web workers from running in the background.

. . . forgot I had it there.

I use LO Calc and save the file as *.xls and make xls the Default mode to save spreadsheets in.
that way, your data is yours and yours alone, not on the Web.

Do you have a way we can collaborate with others who are not in the same location?

I am running 21.3 and the latest version of Firefox [123.0 (64-bit)]. I have a simple petty cash spreadsheet. When I enter the data in each cell, nothing updates unless I refresh the page. If I use Chromium, it updates instantly. If I use Firefox on windows, it updates instantly. Any suggestion as t...

This will get restored afresh when FF restarts.
It's a hidden folder. ctrl+h to view.

Yep, that solved it.
Bizarre.
I wonder what the heck it was in the FF config file that was causing the problem....

Oh well. Thanks for the help.

I don't know what it is I am missing. I have not been able to login to any Google Account using FireFox in a while. I have not had time to chase this down, but now it's getting annoying. .

It seems, that your (virtual) drive is full and the system refuses because of this to log in. You have 2 options: Either increase the size of the drive or boot the VM with the live system and make room free. Yep. That was the problem. Removed some files to create room and we were good to go again. ...

What does ls /home give? Ok, like a dummy I was not putting everything in Lower Case when I entered the UserName . . . however, after continuing to follow the instructions and getting a "Successful Password Update" message, rebooting and entering the password simply returns me to the logi...

Hi Folks, I have a VM running 19.3 that just completed a Kernel update. I rebooted and the password is not working. The disk was getting full (~500MB's space left. Not sure if this was a factor). I found this reset process: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/339 When I follow that I get: ...

Opened the Application Launcher, right clicked on Telegram and selected "Uninstall" and got the warning that, "This menu item is not associated to any package. Doy you want to remove it from the menu anyway?" - I selected "Yes" Just don't do weird stuff and don't waste...

Thanks you for the informative reply; it's really appreciated. For fun I created a VM to recreate what I think I did before: Downloaded the tsetup.4.3.1.tar.xz file from the official site extracted it in position (downloads folder - not that that matters much) Opened the telegram folder and ran the ...

I had downloaded the Telegram program from their website here: https://desktop.telegram.org/ I unpacked it and ran the Telegram file that appeared in the folder. Everything was working well. I was fiddling with some settings (basic mint customization stuff using system settings) when I got thinking ...

I have a Logitec G700 that has 13 programmable buttons (using the Logitech software). I've programmed them with specific key combinations and Key Strokes to expedite repetitive tasks.

Foxit Reader is now working with Linux.

I have not had any issues with it to date (been using it for the last couple of months).

Has anyone got a solution for this problem? Same computer, same USB, same USB port, same file being copied . . . the ONLY difference is the OS. Login to Mint 19.2 and copy the file to the USB drive and it haaaaaaaaaaangs forever before completing. Login to Windows 10 and copy the file to the USB dri...

I'd like to +1 this . . . . I have been running into this issue for some time with mint (all through 19.x and if I remember correctly 18.3 as well).

Thanks again for the help gm10 !
