Re: Confusing error messages from Netflix running in Firefox.
I'm going to summarize what I've gleaned from this thread and from a bit of experimentation, and mark it solved.
1) "invalid password" at login (even though the username and password are quite correct, with caps lock off and password displayed).
I have not encountered this again, but will try Firefox refresh the next time. Refresh (suggested by rokytnji.1) creates a new profile (suggested by dolphin_oracle). Incidentally, I found refresh made firefox much less sluggish and it decreased the iowait shown by top. In Windows, I've never found it to do much more than kill all of my add-ons, but it seems make a big difference when running from a slow thumb drive. It does not seem to work in antix - there is no response to clicking on the refresh button.
2) Message to use latest Firefox (even though the same version worked on a different computer or before remastering, and is still working on a different Live USB drive) This error (code F7701-1003) can sometimes be eliminated simply by restarting firefox. On an antiX virtual machine, restarting firefox did not help but rebooting the VM eliminated the error.
3) Message "Your browser is being managed by your organization". This message is expected on MX and can be ignored.
I've had no more problems, but I've stopped using the same thumb drive on two machines. Switching machines might have caused problems with the firefox configuration files. In any case, these seem to be firefox problems and not MX problems.
