fyi, if you're writing plain text, consider using libreoffice, and check its autosave options. i think it does every 5 minutes

#

you may save to plain text from it too

hollow oriole

Yes but I prefer xed UI 🙂

But you're right

Firefox is already running but is not respoding

dry forum
#

yes then open xfce menu

#

run 'task manager'

#

sort the processes by name

#

right click firefox, and do 'terminate' and wait a bit til it disappears entirely, all threads of it

#

try a reboot also after

hollow oriole
#

Without reboot it won't work?
