1. Please run MX Tools/Quick System Info when you post help requests, then right-click paste into a reply. (Quick System Info automatically copies the information to the clipboard and formats it properly for the forum so all you have to do is paste it.)

2. MX probably created a new Firefox profile when you installed MX. You'll have to locate your old profile from Fedora and copy its contents into the new profile when Firefox isn't running.

I found the bug... all I had to do was make a folder called .mozilla & copy it's content from my old one... but it was too late I jumped back to Fedora 30 Xfce, I was using F29 GNOME 3/Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce... Then the problems started - my cheap HP AIO Printer was not recognized, had to use HP Drivers for the first time ever; been a user since F25! F30 Xfce has a 2x login bug (You Shall Not Pass, Unless You Do It Again & Cross Your Fingers), Dnfdragora Package Manger is buggy at times w/ updates.

I wish MXL would add to the Packages List:
GNU IceCat Browser
Otter Browser, it has the Old Opera 12.x Feel. (The New ChiCom-Opera I would NOT touch w/ a 10' Pole)
sK1 Vector Editor has a CorelDRAW feel about it, plus it reads my old Corel Clip Art CD 8}
Iridium Browser... I know Debian 10 Buster...
SeaMonkey Browser... It's coming back soon
