Re: Dark theme tweak

I thought I set up our Firefox mozillabinaries package builds to create a /usr/bin/firefox symlink to /opt/firefox/firefox, and have them conflict with firefox-esr because of that shared file. Is that still the case?

when you install firefox from debian, it adds the firefox.real diversion.

I thought they could co-exist. they can under antiX.

but in this case, the symlinks don't matter, just the exec line in the desktop file, which should just be "firefox".

which according to colin_b's output its correct.

I'm stumped.


wait...colin, are you launching from the "web browser" link or the "firefox" link in the whisker menu?

Last thought for the nite.

Check this command

Code: Select all

which firefox

I think this is what you want...

Code: Select all

$ which firefox
/usr/local/bin/firefox

well I'm stumped for now. it works from the terminal and the exec line in the desktop file looks correct.

the only thing I can think of now is that maybe you have more than one firefox entry in the menu, with /usr/bin/firefox perhaps used instead of just "firefox" , but I wouldn't think so.

running live is not the issue, so no need to worry about that. everything appears to be as it should be.

Would running ff from the terminal have changed anything?

The reason I ask is I've just rebooted and ran ff from the whisker menu again, and the dark tweak is now working. Previously it didn't.

Whatever has happened, it seems the problem is now solved.

:confused:

it shouldn't have changed anything. the script that the terminal command launches doesn't actually do anything. I suppose its possible that somewhere along the way mx-tweak got sideways and displayed a checkbox that wasn't actually working. although if that was the case, the terminal command should have failed.

so yeah, I'm stumped.

I did check out the "web browser" link in the menu, and mine was set to a specific path which would have bypassed the tweak, which is why I asked about the link in use in the menu.

so stumped, but at least its working now for you!

Methinks computers sometimes run on witchcraft.
