Answer:Is it even necessary to make such a backup if a Timeshift snapshot is made immediately prior to the change?
.mozilla
, depends on whether you have configured Timeshift to include your home directory in its snapshots. of course you're right, get on with my life. but if it's no big thing why is it developers automatically turn everything ON and the USER needs to opt out? for a novice this would go unseen or not even understood. it's the shadyness of how they sneak things in when the user is not looking that's a concern. wouldn't it be nice if at the same time the app is phoning home, it would pop up a dialog and say "we have your information ready to be sent, would you like to review, send or cancel?"
Clem explained both of those points in the "Bug Reports" section of his "Linux Mint signs a partnership with Mozilla" blog post (karlchen provided the link above).
you and me both, I set the Scroll Bar Width to 32cliffcoggin wrote: ⤴Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:32 pm The upgrade to FF96 went without a hitch, being downloaded and installed in less than a minute. The five extensions I use remained operative. The appearance was unchanged except for the return of the damnable skinny scroll bars, but I'll sort that out later.
The only change I made immediately was to remove Google and Bing from the search engines. Other settings were unchanged as far as I can tell.

Hey now, that is some great info, thanks for the additional research.LittleScriptMan wrote: ⤴Wed Jan 19, 2022 4:07 pm There is another pref,set to 0.75 by default that has influence on the scrollbar, meaning 75% of the width of the bar is dedicated to the slider. You can set it to any decimal between 0 (nothing) and 1 (completely filled). This may save some screen width if you consider the white borders on each side of the slider having no real purpose.Code: Select all
