Hi, Off-topic, but I struck an oddity trying to help a friend using Ubuntu send a wayward Firefox back to un-munged condition. I laboriously gave him instructions over the phone to type in:
rm -rfd .cache/mozilla/firefox Only to have it chuck a hissy fit and claim the options were invalid. I tried changing the r option to R, with no further success. My quick search for on-line man pages for Unbuntu didn't show anything different than the options that would work in Fedora. Surely it should have worked? My tests with a mocked up directory structure on my Fedora installation worked without a hitch. I did check he was in the right place, to begin with, by getting him to first enter in: ls .cache/mozilla/firefox Peruse the results, then change the command at the beginning of the line. In the end I went through another set of laborious instructions to see the hidden files in his file browser, and make his was through to the right path. It wasn't helped by his (very) old Ubuntu installation having no menus, so had to figure out how to open a terminal without being able to see what he was doing, likewise for where they'd stashed the file browser. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.14.13-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 11 05:43:34 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
