Firefox in studio a was hanging again this morning. When the prompt to either restart Firefox or stop it came up restarting it did not get it to work properly but stopping it did we’ll see how long it lasts this time.

Running in private mode didn’t help. Online instructions for clearing the cashe and cookies are for a newer version of the browser than the one we have. The one we have is many many revisions behind.

If we are still on 16.04 we will be fighting a losing battle. Better to get the OS upgraded off decade old versions.

With the way things are going we can probably just ask AI to create a more reliable Rivendell interface that runs on web.

Of course, that AI generated interface will only play Taylor Swift songs, but still…
