Contact the developer in the first instance if you have any issues regarding that browser. It's not a Linux Lite problem.

Of course, I do look at that lovely icon each day - Timeshift! And of course it then occurred to me to Restore to an earlier snapshot!

Then I tried Brave again, this time the little window was not blank but had a message that the thing might be in use by another ... and was locked for safety, and offered a nice red button to unlock, then it opened fine, so all is gut again.

To be sure I closed Brave and it re-opened ok.

I was using Brave on this Dell before, now I just get a small blank window for a second then nothing. I did "Restore files [from another LL running Brave] to original locations", so that might have something to do with it...?

https://srvfail.com/brave-browser-fails-to-open-beacuse-of-locked-profile/  suggests a locked profile. I am not familiar with the command lines referred to but I did try /var/log/messages  but permission denied.

https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/11829   one poster suggests rm /home/$USER/.config/brave/SingletonLock - I tried this, changing user to my own, but "no such file"

I tried removals, complete removals, re-installs of brave and brave keyring, no luck.  Brave does show in menu/internet.

I know ad-free brave is not encouraged here, but I do donate to LL.

If I knew where the brave profile is on LL, I wonder could I replace it with the one from my other LL 4.x computer, or is it more complicated than that?

I could re-install LL 4 then Restore files, though that might also restore the problem. Anyway I'd prefer not to re-install.
