Manual install on aging Ubuntu refused to load pages and pegged CPU.

Manually reverted, and launching my older version (92!) demanded I either create a new profile or quit.

This would have been a disaster except I tried it out on a spare profile in the first place, so I recommend this to anyone making a similar experiment.

I haven't set DOH (!) that I can remember.

Running through the initial ff setup a couple of times is a sad reminder of the progressive influx of crapware into my sill favourite browser.

use --allow-downgrade switch


Thanks for that info! Wonder why they don't just provide a "launch anyway and take the risk" option in the gui?
