Persistence and Firefox
Posted: 10 Sep 2016, 17:33
Hi, I have some questions. First off, I appreciate you all so much and I am so grateful for this distribution. I am a newbe and I am sorry for that. I have dabbled with Linux over the years but kept going back to Windows because Linux did not work very well with my cheap Windows systems and their proprietary drivers. Nevertheless I am back because now Linux is the best on my EEEPC 1000HE. In fact it is much better then Windows 7. I am running Porteus-MATE-v3.1-i486.
I am trying to understand how persistence works on my system. (Please understand I have been doing due diligence but some things are still alluding me). My system is installed on a 32gb usb formated to ext4. So far I have not set up a save file. It seems like most settings get saved, such as changing the clock to 12 hr format, my password changes and wifi among other things. However, I have set Firefox to open last tabs view at startup, and though it shows that it is set to that option after reboot, the tabs don't actually open, just a new tab is opened. Also, bookmarks are gone. I just discovered that if I just close Firefox (without reboot) it will not open previous tabs. I'm clueless and new. Thanks for any help.
