"agents provocateurs"?
I've been using Xubuntu since 2008 and don't appreciate your rudeness.
Your messages to the list fail to observe basic email and mailing list
netiquette. The replies to you were rude because your emails, including
this one, are rude. This is an important lesson to learn in life. When
you think "people are being nasty to me" then ask yourself why, and work
out what you did that might have caused them to be nasty. Such as top
posting.
I'm was using Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
"I'm was"?
Anyway. We should not have to ask you for this. You need to provide this
info up front.

I found after installation i had 4 orphans [non deletable] which i
posted about and received no helpful comments.
What on Earth is an "orphan" meant to be in the context of a Linux
distro? I've been using Linux since 1995 and Unix since 1988. I do not
know this word.
Then raise the issue of Firefox and Chromium crashes after the last
update. Versions from the repo.

did you try? Did you run from a terminal to observe error messages? Did
you reboot after installation or update before trying them?

Your messages, including this, are provocative in multiple ways. I
suggest to you that rather than complaining -- twice! -- in a single
mail, you stop and think what you did to get this response.
If comments like these are what Xubuntu mailing list has to offer
these days i am glad i returned to MX Linux... and there the browsers
are working fine.
Bye then.
I believe the kids say:
This is not an airport. You do not have to announce departures.
