Actually, on two systems FF 68 has been a disaster: As reported by Peter, it crashes when launched. I have found three approaches to allow it to launch. 1. Start it with --safe-mode. A pain, because I have to re-enable the Menu to become visible as well as the Bookmards Toolbar. By definition all addons and extensions are disabled. 2. Remove all my tweaked preference settings: I deleted all of my customised preferences by moving ~.mozilla/firefox/ XXXXXXXX.default/prefs.js Then restarted it. It launched with its new start up page and what not. Everything worked. I did NOT change any settings what-so-ever. I closed it and relaunched it. The window now has no window title bar at the top. It also shows no bookmarks. Menus are empty. What the ... ?! 3. Create a new blank profile. This works fine, until/unless I try to tweak telemetry settings. It seems 1. above works, but it's a pain. Approach 2. works too, but only once. Approach 3. appears to work so far. I disabled the Sync function too and it still launches. This change in behaviour of a browser which worked without any major hickups here for many years is bloody annoying. O_O I don't mind recompiling it if this is what must happen, is there any particular system-* USE flag which I should disable? BTW, in previous versions I have these FF USE flags set in a corresponding package.use file: system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx system- sqlite -wifi -- Regards, Mick
