Maybe I should leave them out for longer, although I turned the machine off for 15 minutes. There were 3 updates from debian-mozilla at teatime yesterday, from the apt-get.log - Start-Date: 2013-10-21 18:11:11 Commandline: apt-get upgrade Upgrade: libnss3:i386 (3.15.1-1~bpo70+1, 3.15.2-1~bpo70+1), libnspr4:i386 (4.10-1~bpo70+1, 4.10.1-1~bpo70+1), libnss3-1d:i386 (3.15.1-1~bpo70+1, 3.15.2-1~bpo70+1) Its a usb-mouse and keyboard, both separate items, and I don't have anything to swap them out with.
