After reading the original post I thought it would be easier and simpler to just copy a "clean" Firefox profile that is kept with your data files somewhere. Then copy that "clean" profile in place of the Firefox "used" profile that increases in size. I present two ways to do this, using the ...

Yes and no. According to arkenfox (https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.4-Apply-&-Update-&-Maintain under the "APPLY" section), if a new profile is being used then the arkenfox-cleanup.js cleanup script is not needed. That script appears in their github section here https://github.com/arkenfox ...

How did it get out of date? I upgraded it in the main repos a week or two ago. Browsers should always be updated ASAP. Because all the browsers I tested were on my primary (daily-used) MX-19.4 Xfce. Waterfox and Pale Moon were the only two browsers of the four that I have installed that were not ...

No problem with Firefox, Pale Moon or google-chrome with this recent CAPTCHA that started on 25 April 2025, but Waterfox will hang on the CAPTCHA window and never get to the square for a green checkmark. This did not happen with the last CAPTCHA on MX Linux months ago... Edit: Pale Moon was out of ...

I never used arkenfox and I though I would first test upgrading it before posting my response. Instead of just providing a short one or two-sentence answer I though a more detailed answer would be more helpful for you and/or interested readers, so here goes. To test, I downloaded an older arkenfox ...

That's good information. I did at some point in years past, click on the flatpak tab "just to see", and I remember installing a flatpak out of curosity which was then immediately removed. Would that have anything to do with a 400+ MiB flatpak presence in /root ? However the question remains; why did ...

This is just an after-thought curiosity. Did you check for any flatpak files in /root/ ? Like I said in my Post #2, I found over 400 MiB of flatpak junk in MX-19 /root and that was without ever having accessed or installed any flatpak packages. One way to check is with the command in the below code ...

As can be seen in the second bullet-point in Step 2 of my Post #2 above, I had removed (autoremoved) the "libostree-1-1" package (it was an orphan package left over after the flatpak package was removed). Remember this is MX-19 and also, if memory serves, MX-21. In your case, for some reason the ...

First, I agree 100% with your reasons. This is how I completely removed all flatpak related files, with the exception of some flatpak icons - I should probably remove those too just to be complete... Anyway, this is how I did it. I use MX-19.4 Xfce (it was also done in MX-21.3 Xfce): 1. I ran sudo ...

Okay, I went back to MX-23.6 Xfce for further testing on the Desktop icons with disappearing text below the icons but only when the font size is selected to "12". This is an update to my previous Post #2 above. In that post I said that the font size was saved "somewhere", and that "somewhere" is ...
