MX 17 Repository: The firefox thread

which has a python3-minimal (>= 3.5) dependency which isn't available in jessie.

Guess that should go into the depends list for MX17's builds.

owo - have you tried to build python3-minimal (>= 3.5) on a jessie base?

This bothers me with FF 57 on an otherwise very good release: the lines on the Forum are jammed together making it uncomfortable to read. Enough for me to stay with GC.

How are your fonts set in FF?

[Jerry3904]

Preferences > Language and Appearance, font size 20

Is that what you mean?

All parameters in that section, font, size, whether the check box for site controlling fonts is checked.

EDIT: On my laptop it is fine. Graphics driver? never ran into anything like this before regarding line spacing. on a web site due to a driver.

Python3-minimal is a dependency of python3 in MX 17. No problem there. That dependency on the 3.5 version for the extension is probably due to the ${python3:Depends} substitution variable in the build for that plugin, and would be replaced by the Jessie version in a rebuild on Jessie. Maybe the developer would provide us with the /debian folder they used if we asked nicely. But I see this is the MX 17 thread, and those problems don't apply here.

The update doesn't seem to let me monitor progress of downloads without opening up a separate window any longer, and Download Status Bar is now incompatible. I installed the Download Sound extension so I at least get a sound notification when they finish, but I miss the old features.

[Jerry3904]

The missing download indicator is seriously annoying...
