More datapoint(s): I have a 'similar' system: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS + Trinity -- only this one is still Trinity 3.5.11 -- and the upgrade of Firefox to Ver. 13 did NOT present the problem. I will update this system to Trinity 3.5.13.1 -- but not for 2 weeks, as I need this system to be 'rock steady' until then. I will report back after I've done the upgrade from Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13.1. > Felix offered: >You can install as many Firefox or SeaMonkey versions as you care to. >Just download the bz2 archives from any of Mozilla.org's ftp mirrors, >... Thanks, Felix! I just may uninstall and pin the Ubuntu firefox, and install the .deb's from Mozilla on my own. But, I will test the 2nd system's Ubuntu Firefox V13 with Trinity 3.5.13.1 first. Thanks for the pointers and config tips! (Maybe it's the clash of all the unlucky thirteens...
