New install of Mint 21.2 due to total mess , possibly of Firefox
I have a new install of Mint 21.2 but I'm afraid to sync Firefox from my tablet or phone because of the weird errors that popped up from Firefox on my desktop and this laptop I am writing on. Clean installs are on this laptop and the desktop.
It seems that Firefox's most recent updates messed up a lot of things, such as space issues, even though the old installs had huge space available. Also I lost all my bookmarks in these errors.
I have no errors to forward in this thread, because I wiped both drives in the new installs.

Again, not sure why we need to know about your motherboard, sound server, battery or network card for a Firefox problem. You tell us it's Mint 21.2....but don't bother to tell us what version of Firefox (the program you're having trouble with).
And did you read/think about what you posted??? Because if this is a clean installation and you haven't sync'ed anything...how, exactly, do you think your bookmarks and other things would show up?? You post no errors, and actually post the solution yourself. Want your bookmarks? Then *SYNC FIREFOX* from somewhere that has them.
