I installed the newest version of Linux Mint a couple of months ago. Actually, I don't remember exactly how long ago it was, but everything has been working perfectly until today. It's version 19.2. Yesterday evening, I started having trouble accessing the internet. Now, it says, "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We can't connect to the server at [whatever site I try to access]."
I've looked at pretty much every single solution I could find online and they either don't work or I don't even understand what they're saying. (I'm a tech novice) Also, this morning, I noticed a folder on my computer screen that says, "Old Firefox Data." I have no idea what that's for.
So, if anyone has any tips, that would be much appreciated and like I said, I'm a novice, so please ELI5. Thank you all in advance!
