Uma Mint comes on line

Spent from Weds morning until Thursday morning trying to element a glaring flaw!

Simply put if I install the new fire fox which identifies as firefox+1 Uma Firefox goes to sh**. becomes semi-transparent so everything is garbled.

What took so long was having to use my back up drive to restore a half dozen times While trying to figure out which of the many many updates was screwing up Firefox.Big surprise, it was Firefox.!

Conclusion:

If you don't install the new Firefox, everything else is mint solid.
And the existing Firefox works fine.

I would diffidently advice against installing the new firefox for Uma unless you have a good recent backup or you can figure out how to straighten Uma Firefox out.

Firefox presents so badly I could not see to work within Firefox to find a solution.

Oh!
I had trouble accessing this new release or even seeing it.Update manager kept telling me that I had no internet connection.

What I had to do was change my repository download sites.After doing that a new "Update manager" is offered. Take it. after it installs Uma becomes possible! ":O}
Just keep tying them until you find one that works.

I "think" that many repositories may have yet to update, but that's just a guess.

BTW this was an update not a fresh install..

Wow, still having Firefox woes???

Have you tried Brave browser?

Thanks Boo!
Firefox does continue to work fine, just don't update it to UMa.
And your right I had this problem occur in the last release.

after a few weeks Mint issued another firefox that worked

Is the problem related to frontend GUI elements?
Like changing the icons, button location, menus?

I took another run at updating today. This time I removed firfox before updating.
Still no go.

Everything seems just fine until I open Firefox. Firfox is unreadable due to transparency
at lest two different pages are trying to display.

I'll give Mint a few days and try something else..if I can think of something else to try.
Not biggie, system remains entirely stable.Thanks for taking a look at this for me Boo.

I keep forgetting that you crank up the font sizes in Mint.
There is a chance Firefox is having an issue with font scaling.
