I can use Mozilla browsers pretty much interchangeably, and once I get them like I want, I just copy everything from one folder to another, so that my Pale Moon, Firefox, Iceweasel, IceCat, SeaMonkey, and all other Mozilla, quasi-Mozilla and pseudo-Mozilla browsers look almost identical, and I have all my custom search engines, extensions, whatever I want. I like to use them for different kinds of searching online. I don't like to use the same browser for everything. I use them each for dedicated tasks; for example, I use SeaMonkey for my one and only social network, and nothing else. I has one cookie in it, and no browsing information at all, except for my maintenance of the blog itself. I use Pale Moon for browsing news sites, etc., and it keeps no history, cookies, etc. And so on, and so on. I like to experiment with the possibilities, and to try out different browsers, and to see how I can configure them to do different tricks. I have got them to fetch, but not yet to roll over or beg. Anyway, so I backup my sources.list to an external drive: sudo cp -r -v -f /etc/apt/sources.list -t /media/~/sources/debian-jessie/apt/sources.list-20180610.txt (Also, make sure you open up Konqueror or some other file manager as root, and explore /etc/apt/ for whatever else you keep there, especially in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - which is where you'll find third-party repositories like Opera, Vivaldi, Open Office, and Pale Moon.) However, I don't allow them to write my sources.list; I copy those repositories to my master copy on the external drive, and maintain my sources.list from there. Make sure to rename it to something else; e.g.,with the date of backup. From this I create my master copy of the sources.list, and whenever I update my sources.list, I can overwrite the version in /etc/apt/ sudo cp -r -v -f /media/~/sources/debian-jessie/apt/sources.list -t /etc/apt/ and run sudo apt-get update. By doing this, too, I can update my sources.list on-the-fly, and maintain different versions of it for different repositories. I set kedit (actually kedit-trinity) to open up my master copy of the sources.list (from my external hard drive), and can edit as I go along, and easily switch between different versions of my sources.list. And I can keep my own personal repository on a flash drive, and use that as my default, and switch back to online repositories whenever I need to download something new. If this seems either obvious or cumbersome, or highly unorthodox, I can only say that it works for me. I get complete control over my repositories, and do my updates and upgrades manually, so that nothing gets installed automatically. Glad that I could be of some help. I would hate to think that I was good for nothing. ;-) Bill
