Hello all,

I opened the firefox browser this morning and found a very different homepage to the one I'm used to. It even had an option for searching on Google even though I disabled it a long time ago. It's generally a very "busy" page. It's ok, though I love the page with the big stylized blue and green parrot.

More confusing is the fact that there's the option to download the 7.2 version. I ran the command

cat /etc/os-release

and got the result

"VERSION="7.3 (echo)"

Can someone please clarify this for me? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm interested in using advert-block-antix, which comes with MX, but after doing some searches, I can't tell if it's up to date or not. Does anyone here use it? If you do, how do you use it? (I looked at the README and it doesn't say much.)

Thank you!

Hi,

I've been running the Parrot Home edition for over a year now, and I just reinstalled it on my laptop after reading the current version was addressing the recent linux vulnerability issues.

I've been using the NordPass extension on Parrot's Firefox ESR browser ever since I started using Parrot, but now I can't install it. The extension page says I need to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.

I'd much prefer to stick with the default Parrot version of Firefox ESR because of the security configuration. Is there something I can do? Is there a way to update without losing the Parrot-specific browser configuration?

Thanks!

I was typing away on libreoffice writer when a popup showed up about an update being available. I hit “update,” entered my password, and let it run in the background. Then I decided to see what was going on and saw systemd being installed.

I don’t use systemd, and I don’t even get the option to choose an init system when I’m booting up, so I don’t understand. If anyone can give me some information, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!
