And a web-based email interface page along with the NWS’s radar page for any given area in the country sound like two such pages that are subject to randomly being updated/refreshed. Since you say that it’s started happening since the last two FF updates, that makes me believe that Mozilla tweaked the code for FF to change the way it deals with these types of pages perhaps. Just a thought. If anyone has concrete proof of these theories, please feel free to jump in!  ..read more

I haven’t seen that on any of my Mint machines (only one of which is running Mate and that’s on 21.1) To me it sounds like it could be a website issue and that a couple of the websites are dynamic instead of static. AskWoody is static in that I have to hit the refresh button on a browser to see new threads/topics/changes to threador topics. I have a junk gmail account that refreshes automatically whenever a new message arrives in the inbox. Maybe the offending websites have made a change recently ..read more

OS is Mint Mate 20.3, FF currently 125.0.2.  Normally leave 4 tabs on FF when shutting down or suspending computer.  Since the last two FF updates, it sometimes opens with one or more tab pages modified from originals, for example- email might display a random received email instead of home page, or NWS radar shows a different map from the one previously set. These are all recent errors, and appear maybe 25% or less of the boot-up or wake-up cycles.  Anyone else seeing this ..read more

I appreciate your taking the time to look for a solution Sueska.  I’m to a point where I’m trying to use Terminal more and learn more commands.  I have two books on Linux and one deals primarily with Terminal. This book has loads of commands but didn’t have that “hostnamectl” command which really did the trick!  I’m glad you used it and are happy with it too ..read more

Hi Charlie, I am glad Mothy helped you find you a solution. The long terminal name was bothering me as well. I am happy now too and I learned a lot about ~.bashrc. Too bad the knowledge I gained was not before making the first two mistakes. Chris Hoffman from the Howtogeek has a comprehensive guide on modifying your bash prompt and explains the purpose of the code in the ~.bashrc script. I believe my mistakes included removing one too many backward slashes (also called escape characters). https://www.howtogeek.com/307701/how-to-customize-and-colorize-your-bash-prompt/ I decided to make similar ..read more
