specs Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 After installing Armbian_23.2.1_Rock-5b_bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_xfce_desktop.img I found a nagging error each start of Firefox. "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." Looking at internet with Google I found hardly any link referring to linux or armbian, therefore I still don't know which configuration file was actually missing or damaged. The only link I found with armbian in it contained some very obscure editting of some configuration files (just like many proposed Windows solutions). The issue: where does it go wrong? The problem is some configuration clutter somewhere in /usr/lib/firefox-esr. And how to solve? A Windows video showed a user removing and reinstalling firefox. Reinstalling with a blank configuration really does solve this problem (try as root or use sudo): apt --purge remove firefox-esr rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox-esr apt install firefox-esr I guess only users who don't use a minimal image may encounter this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specs Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Just saw the "mark as solution" tab. Basically when posted this issue was already solved. If it is not against policy I do like to post if only to document. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
