I guess I didn't make myself clear: by print I meant print the information text to the PDF queue, and not just a picture of the information. The former means I can search/sort/filter it etc, again at leisure. BTW I think I'm a little ahead of you here. I press the single keystroke AltL-F11 for a window/root screenshot (with scrot). However, in view of the number of pages, it's easier to press Shift-AltL-F12 to start a video capture and then scroll through the pages. On replaying it, I can use Pause to read it. But it's not the same. Cheers, David.

If this fulfils your objective of "..print out the about:config page so tht it can be perused at leisure." then take it. I have nothing more to contribute. -- Brian.

The one that's the target of ii printer-driver-cups-pdf 2.6.1-22 amd64 printer driver for PDF writing via CUPS 99% of what I "print" on FF goes to PDF files rather than actually applying any ink to paper. > > information.

Perhaps not one other person has ever wished to put the contents of about:config into a text file, which may be why mozilla make it near impossible to do. But if there is one other such person, perhaps they know of a workaround. That person doesn't have to be you. Cheers, David.

Bless your heart for going to all that trouble. I sure didn't need to
see all your firmware, dear. You remind me of my elderly Aunt who always
responds to every question with a 30 min story about feeding ducks.

Trouble? It's just two lines of shell, using apt-cache, dpkg-query,
grep, sed and sort; the kind of thing any sysadmin could rustle up in
a couple of minutes, and then stick in a bash function (as I did,
many moons ago).

Firmware is just what happens to dominate the list which was generated
automatically (as mentioned above). I've installed one package of user
software from non-free, and its appearance there seems to be caused by
some details of its licence. I've installed one ancient (squeeze)
package, xtoolwait, and one more up-to-date (buster) version of the
youtube-dl package, without which I've found it impossible to download
a good proportion of internet videos.
I posted the list to demonstrate that I'm not being economical with
the truth about having no non-free/contrib packages supporting FF.
Thus there's no reason to move FF out of the "main" distribution.
However, the rude attitude you show here is indicative of problems
stretching far beyond technical discussions of Debian.
Cheers,
David.

Are we discussing FF and its dependencies, or have we moved on to the topic of firmware needed to support the hardware that I've inherited for running Debian on? But I can't really debate points with someone who writes bald statements like "the default pkg is a piece of insecure garbage"; sorry. Cheers, David.

Ah, that's easy. Turns out that stretch is perfectly capable of running software that the Debian Project does not package, and I would argue that trying to keep a firefox-esr running is not the right thing to do. Firefox just isn't ready for the Debian definition of stable. The Debian volunteers working on Firefox would be better serving the community if they were only spending a few minutes packaging up each major-number release from Mozilla, and putting the rest of the time towards looking for security problems in it. There may well be a use for a "stable" web browser, but Firefox can't be that one. -dsr-

Mostly JavaScript. I'm running FF 60.2.2esr and displaying some ancient html (2001) with static pages containing text and photos. Top shows "firefox-esr" (7932) most of the time, "Web content" (7988) infrequently, and "file:// Content" (8026) perhaps a little more often (it's difficult to judge). These processes pop up almost regardless of when I click to add another tab to the collection that are open. ps ax shows the following list of processes: 7932 pts/17 Sl 0:33 firefox-esr file:///home/david/…the index page….html 7988 pts/17 Sl 0:02 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2 8026 pts/17 Sl 0:07 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 2 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2 8095 pts/17 Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 3 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2 I've not observed 8095 in top at all. There's no java/css or anything like that. I did notice that if I hold down Ctrl-PageUp (ie circulate through tabs), 7932 and 8026 stay firm at the top of top. When I close all the tabs and leave open just the Mozilla Firefox start page that displays the one-inch icons of sites I visit, PID 8026 disappears, and it's easy to see that 7988 (Web content) is processing the icons as I move the mouse over them. > > > Killing them off won't help.

I would understand your writing the last sentence with the word "secure" (though I would wish to know which insecurities you're troubled by), but not as written here with "stable". I'm finding stretch's FF Quantum very stable so far. Is this because I don't use a DE, perhaps? Cheers, David.

In the sense of "stable" as Debian "stable": for a period of around 2-3 years, the software at the beginning is about the same as the software at the end, modulo security fixes. Firefox and Chrom[e|ium] are changing too rapidly for that to make sense, in my opinion. Mozilla's own ESR program doesn't even qualify, as they only maintain the release for "more than a year". -dsr-

But they appears even if I disable all modules. Based on other responses, we know what "web content" in Top constitutes. I wish they would have unique names instead of just "web content." Would make things easier. Someone said your slowness problems is caused by library, etc. incompatibility. I was wondering . . . You said you're running Firefox 62.0.3, IIRC. Did you install this from Sid's repo or download directly from Mozilla? I downloaded Firefox Quantum 62.0.3 from Mozilla (tar.gz file) and installed it manually. Quantum isn't in the Stretch repo. I just copied the entire firefox directory to /opt. (FYI: I run only Openbox with a single LXPanel with menu.) If you haven't done this, maybe, give it a try. The binary has to be very generic as it's designed to run on various versions of Linux not just Debian. Maybe, it will be more compatible. B

I can confirm killing xfsettingsd fixes the issue (but Xfce is not really usable after that). I have launch again xfsettings with the debug option and use firefox, I have the following messages related to fontconfig. $ XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon xfce4-settings(fontconfig): monitoring 131 paths xfce4-settings(workspaces): 4 desktop names set from xfconf xfce4-settings(fontconfig): timestamp updated (time=1539336916) xfce4-settings(xsettings): 33 settings changed (serial=1, len=1252) xfce4-settings(fontconfig): monitoring 131 paths xfce4-settings(fontconfig): timestamp updated (time=1539336919) xfce4-settings(xsettings): 33 settings changed (serial=2, len=1252) xfce4-settings(fontconfig): monitoring 131 paths Fontconfig warning: Directory/file mtime in the future.
