Re: non function firefox

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

since Gene's problem is a matter of real life, i mention that i solved
my problems with german tax declaration (*) by installing Ubuntu in a
virtual machine.

Before installing some non-Debian, one could try whether the browser of
the newest Debian Live can do the trick.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) The online tax portal (named "Elster" = magpie) is officially kept
running on Ubuntu's default browser. For what ever reason their web
programmers deem it necessary to reject older browsers.
I decided to strictly follow the instructions of Elster, because it was
important to have a good excuse in case of failure.

The browser of ubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso was able to do the work
immediately after installation. But i could not find out how to start
a shell terminal or how to enable ssh access from the host computer.
It looks more like a propretary tablet than like a desktop.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
