My new manual - put together thanks to you guys here on this mailing list. Thanks to all of you 😍. Now I run newest Thunderbird, and newest Firefox ESR, both with firejail just like before. I will wait for Debian versions to appear, I keep them installed, but I won't hold my breath. My TB & Fx are safe now, without dozens of security vulnerabilities open.
----- How to download & maintain new Firefox ESR & Thunderbird (from Mozilla): Shutdown both TB & Fx. Backup their profiles now: cp -r .mozilla .mozilla-debian cp -r .thunderbird .thunderbird-debian cd /usr/bin sudo mv thunderbird thunderbird.bak sudo mv firefox firefox.bak From now, Debian ESR versions are unavailable. You can restore them by moving /usr/bin/firefox.bak to /usr/bin/firefox (and same with thunderbird) and restoring their old profiles, as older version won't read profile modified by newer version. Run instructions below each time there is new upstream version of Firefox or Thunderbird: /cd opt sudo wget -O firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-GB"; sudo tar vxf firefox.tar.bz2 sudo rm firefox.tar.bz2 sudo ln -fs /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/ sudo wget -O thunderbird.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-GB"; sudo tar vxf thunderbird.tar.bz2 sudo rm thunderbird.tar.bz2 sudo ln -fs /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/ On first thunderbird launch, run it via "thunderbird -P" instead of clicking your usual shortcut, because it creates empty profile by default, you don't need that, you want your old profile selected as default and loaded each time. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
