[SOLVED] problem with new package mozilla-firefox-78.8.0esr-x86_64-2

Toutatis · 03-13-2021, 12:33 AM

Many web pages crash (with the message 'Gah. Your tab just crashed')

I restored mozilla-firefox-78.8.0esr-x86_64-1 and no more crashes

Will version 86.0.1 be available ?

Ruario's script will fetch and build a slackware package for the latest firefox

[EDIT]First start firefox from terminal with

Code:

firefox --enable-downgrade -P

you can then select your old profile as the default

Thanks, it worked for me as well. Just needed to switch back to my old profile using

Code:

about:profile

.

You can use drgibbon's modified version of ruario's script that prevents the need to switch profiles unless you change the Firefox Channel.
