Everything slowed, somethings wouldn't load, no amount of reboots, router clearing, or tweaks worked. It's better today so far so it was probably major line work somewhere.......

Firefox is a pain. I also use Chromium lightly. They tell me Opera is good. But to start over with a new browser. ugh.

FF about is telling me updates disabled by my system administrator. WTF does that mean? Is that me? i see no place to enable updates, so I guess it's an ISP thing.

99.01 updated April 12 2022.

I should not complain. Linux Mint has made it to major OS level, it works great, does everything I want on old hardware.
