Firefox has recently started crashing.

Seems that within the last 3 weeks, can't be certain exactly, Firefox has been crashing rather randomly. Just web browsing, the Firefox window will suddenly go crooked or get static lines and flicker on and off. Stopping and restarting Firefox and it's fine again. Haven't experienced this in any oth...

Not if the drive got fried.

If a power outage damaged your HDD not much you can do except restore from a backup. You do have backups, right? I'd also replace that drive and get a UPS.

Re: USB-drive wont work [SOLVED]

I had the same problem of the USB not mounting in 21.01.20 and found this which worked fine for me:
In a terminal: sudo pkg install -fy automount Exit from terminal and reboot.
When I moved to the current version 13 USB mounting worked just fine and still does. Good luck.,

Re: Question about the hardware support of my pc!

Doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary. Very similar to my setup. Try the USB installation and run it live. If everything is working I think you'll really like it.

Re: Delete core dumps?

It was suggested by user Jannik Toftegård Trolle in The Linux and BSD Community on MEWE to add the line kern.corefile=/tmp/%N.core to /etc/sysctl.conf which seems to have ended the predictable core dumps everytime I booted. Keeping my fingers crossed but I'm marking this one solved.

Re: Delete core dumps?

Thanks. I appreciate your taking time to respond. This is all I've got after running rc-update. System Log Viewer/messages shows me this, if it's of any use to you. I've gotten this same message for every day I've booted the system. Apr 10 13:15:43 gnome-keyring-daemon[3541]: couldn't access control...

Re: Delete core dumps?

Did try that as superuser, but got same message about not being in runlevel boot. rc-update in a terminal doesn't list either savcore or dumpon services, so I guess something else is causing the core dump files to show up in my Home folder.

Re: Delete core dumps?

Not being a programmer, how do I implement those two lines of code? In a terminal gets me this: rc-update: service `savecore' is not in the runlevel `boot'
