Re: Firefox problem with downloads [Solved]

Thanks to both of you. Sorry I forgot the QSI, but the download problem is fixed now. I renamed the hidden directory ~/.mozilla to .mozilla.old. Then restarted Firefox and it created a new directory .mozilla and downloads worked. I deleted the new .mozilla and renamed .mozilla.old back to .mozilla a...

Though when Btrfs is used as the root filesystem it isn't set up with the sub-volumes used by Timeshift to make filesystem snapshots. That isn’t right is it...
