About Mozilla Firefox

After upgrading Ubuntu LTS 20.04 to 22.04, the only issue that persists is Mozilla Firefox refusing to unstuck itself from troubleshooting mode. I don't know what's bothering this trusty old browser but I have not encounter this problem since i started using Linux. I downloaded a fresh Firefox off the Mozilla Website itself. It's a 237 mb download and I extracted it on a folder in my home directory so it would not be mistaken for the Ubuntu supplied firefox. I found the file to run the extracted files. Firefox runs magnificently. All my add-ons works including keepassxc-browser. Keepassxc-browser did not completely work with Firefox before. If someone can explain this and I have a feeling that somehow I sold my soul to the devil to get it to work.

So I understand that this personally downloaded version of Firefox won't be updated by apt/apt-get/dpkg and since its binary is in a unique location, I would be responsible for its maintenance and updating. BUT IT WORKS!!!

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
