Questions to FAQ about TCL

[Sashank999]

I am sorry to say this but I actually created the plugins folder and it worked.

Instructions here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games .

@Sashank999

Ownership is root:staff. But firefox is usually launched as tc user.
Change ownership with :

sudo chown tc:staff *

FF will completely disable this plugin in Dec 2020
https://www.fxsitecompat.dev/en-CA/docs/2019/flash-player-can-no-longer-always-be-activated/

Try the trouble shoot page(s) please
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keep-flash-up-to-date-and-troubleshoot-problems
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/adobe-flash-plugin-has-crashed

and the last one.....I may regret saying it....as I have not used flash in years
it might be possible for you to change your useragent.

Changing useragent is useful for some sites to lie what your web browser is.
But I have no interest in installing flash and testing this last theory out.

I will shout it....firefox support ENDS DECEMBER 2020
find a better site now would be a smart solution IMHO

[TinyCoreLinux]

@aus9
I knew... But Thank you for your advice!

[TinyCoreLinux]

Q6: Why are files or folders recorded in the /opt/.filetool.lst configuration file still deleted?
But opt and home directories can always be kept.
pre-work:

Code: [Select]

mkdir /usr/share/fonts
cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts
The following is the content of my file ".filetool.lst":

Code: [Select]

opt
home
...
/usr/share/fonts #or /usr/share/fonts/xxx.ttf
The result: Fonts folder was still deleted.

Is there any way to persist the entire disk's data? Once and for all.

[Juanito]

For large static files you should make your own local extension and then either load it "onboot" or when needed.

If you insist on storing large files in your backup, which will slow down shutdown and booting, you should either use the gui cpanel/Backup/Restore to add the files or manually add them to /opt/.filetool.lst and remove the leading slash, for example:

usr/local/share/fonts/xxx.ttf

and not

/usr/local/share/fonts/xxx.ttf

[TinyCoreLinux]

@Juanito
Thank you for your advice and reminder. But first I'd like to know what you mean by "you should make your own local extension"?Does fireflysung.tcz do it that way?How do you do that?

[Juanito]

Making your own extension using squashfs-tools is explained at the end here: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:creating_extensions

I would guess that, once loaded, fireflysung needs the following commands to work with firefox:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo fc-cache /usr/share/fonts
[and maybe]
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/fonts /etc
