I'm running an old 32 bit distro on the laptops, which will get upgraded to a recent 64 bit distro Real Soon Now. Then I will upgrade myself to Chromium as John suggested. Meanwhile, I restored 60.2.0.esr firefox from a September 25 backup to a test laptop, and the .mozilla user files. It's a bit annoying that I must do both. DELETING user files with an update? That's barbaric. Nyet Kulturni. I added "firefox" to the /etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate exclusions list. We'll see how that goes. I would be hosed without backups. I thought I needed backups for security and for my bonehead mistakes, not for protection from mozilla bonehead programmer mistakes. Ah well. Linus Torvalds recently promised to be nicer to Linux developers in the future. If that works out, I'll try to be nicer as well. If not, I still have backups. Sit here, behind this rear tire ...
