What is the best Linux distribution to work with Firefox (or Thunderbird)?

With the advent of Win8 & Win10, I am considering (re) installation of Linux. I stopped using it because I was not getting timely Firefox and Thunderbird updates. I rely on Thunderbird calendar & Tbird interface.
So what is the Linux distribution to be more likely to be kept up to date?
Thank you

Regular distributions Linux versions may be supported for a few years more or less Long term releases of the same or other Linux distributions support there.

The drawback with the LTS (like Ubuntu with some versions) versions, is that they tend to use older packages more stable vs using the most current set.

Older versions LTS which are always supported by distribution may not meet required minimums to use the current version of Firefox for example.

https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/41.0/system-requirements/

The current currency out June 30, 2025 is supported until April 2019, so there are options.

openSUSE is a community which tries to keep some older versions updated when openSUSE drops in support.

Linux for Firefox 41.0 requirements are the same for Firefox 17.0. However, a big change in a while is GTK 3.4 or newer will be the new requirement, probably to start Firefox 43.0 communicated that he was going to be Fx 42.0 release.

  • What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

  • What is the best way to sync contacts with a host of webdav?

    I use Thunderbird and Contacts Android as of client applications with an owncloud 8 hosted remotely. I have activated the application Contacts on Owncloud and now I want to sync the contacts between these systems. What is the best way to do it?

    I try to get sorted first Thunderbird. I tried Addressbooks Synchronizer, but currently, it gives me a message telling me that my credentials are wrong or is sitting silently, do nothing. I am aware that it is a file synchronization, the method of synchronization not saved, so it is not ideal, in any case.

    Is there a better, good timing, method I can use? I refuse to the thing that he is an unreasonable request or that no one asked before me, but I can't seem to find the answer.

  • What is the best piano keyboard to use with a macbook air?

    Hi all:

    I would like to know what piano keyboards do you recommend to use with Garageband AND recording via my Macbook Air. I would have preferred a keyboard with many features - modulation of pitch, a good Bank of sounds, at least 6 titles, etc. I know I should have a MIDI output to work. I think maybe a CASIO, YAMAHA or maybe a BERRINGER. Can help you guys?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Rachael

    I have no preference, but try to get a compatible keyboard class requires no drivers to install, or there's plenty wrong with each update of the system on your Mac.

  • The PDF module does not work with Firefox 14.0.1

    I have not found an Add on PDF that works with 14.0.1. I have to go to IE or Chrome when there is a PDF file to open.

    If you're not opposed to the use of the plugin that ships with Adobe Reader X, this article might help: use the Adobe Reader to view or download PDF files plugin.

    If you prefer Foxit Reader, it might be that you must activate the add-on or to update, and then turn it back on.

    To check the disabled modules, try here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules

    Check as well the category Plugins and Extensions for your PDF readers. You will find the disabled items in a separate set at the bottom of the list.

    To check the updates of the add-on, use the "gear" above the list.

  • What is the best external display for use with Tecra A8?

    It is perhaps off of a question, but I'm in the market for an external monitor for my Tecra A8. The price range of 400 euro round. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    What size of monitor you want bye? 17TO? or 19a?
    I read checked the product on some websites and the Samsung SyncMaster 970 19a testing? is not a bad choice. You should get to 400Euros.

    But it's usually? not easy to say which screen is best. I think you should visit some computer dealers and compare external displays. You know that you can check the clarity, brightness, contrast and response time. CA? It's important if you want to play games. It should support a low value. For example 8-6 ms

    See title

    There is no 'screen' for iDevices in itself.

    There are wallpapers and there are apps type digital photo frame, but no screen savers in the traditional sense of the term.

    What exactly are you trying to do and how does imply the pencil of Apple.

    Your message could not be more ambiguous.

    Try rephrasing your iPad / pencil Apple issues so that we can better understand what you are trying to do.
