Select an earlier one and let it boot to see if it fixes the new issues.This worked, Thanks. Should 4.4.0.202 be removed?Quote from: stevef on February 01, 2021, 09:43:42 AMWas able to access the grub loader when rebooting and set 4.4.0.201 to boot. Firefox worked normally and the system shut down using Menu-> Log Out -> Shut Down cleanly.Will leave this version as the default for the time being.Same here.

The fault lies in linux-generic 4.4.0.202 and its dependent packages. They break not only Firefox, but also Install Updates and Lite Tweaks, so far as I can tell. Lessons learned: do not install updates blindly, and make a restore point before doing them. The solution for me was to go back to the most recent restore point, unfortunately a few months old, then update packages in small groups using the Install/Remove Software, making a restore point after each update. Now only four packages 4.4.0.202 are left, and I am not touching them. But Firefox works.This is a serious bug in the basic Linux packages. Should maybe be referred to another forum.
@firenice03Your sig shows you still have a 3.8, is it running? If so, does yours work?Should I post this up in the bug fix forum?
