Hello:

That is a proper developer / programmer reply, states facts as they are and (sort of) explains why.
ie: textbook proper

That is a proper assholican / idiotic reply.

Hello:

You can also do it via email.

See here: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

I guess that as long as it is properly formatted, it will not bounce / be ignored.
Maybe just avoid mentioning Devuan ...  8^°

Hello:

That is usually, albeit not always, a good way to start.

I went looking and through trial and error finally managed to (?) domesticate the beast a bit.
But the jury is still deliberating, so caveat emptor.

What I did in about:config was this:

1. looked for all instances of recent
2. set browser.bookmarks.editDialog.maxRecentFolders to 0
3. set browser.download.manager.addToRecentDocs to false
4. set browser.engagement.recent_visited_origins.expiry to 1*
5. set browser.urlbar.recentsearches.featureGate to false
6. set browser.urlbar.suggest.recentsearches to false
7. set privacy.restrict3rdpartystorage.heuristic.recently_visited_time to 1*
8. set services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed to false

* the default values are (probably) in seconds so I used 1 in case nought (0) means forever.

There's probably more to edit, time will tell.

Thank you all for your input.

A.

Hello:

I'd rather it worked as intended.

One thing though: while testing today I found that I cannot reproduce this at will, which is strange.
I'll have to do some more testing.

Thanks for your input.

Best,

A.

Hello:

I beg to differ.

I don't think you have wasted your time.
You have spent / invested it. ie: in doing part of the legwork needed to make progress in the testing of the upcoming 6.12 kernel release.
Not the same by any means.

Thank you for that.

Yes.
My box running Devuan Daedalus has a card with one of those  ubiquitous controllers, works properly:

~$ lspci
--- snip ---
04:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)
--- snip ---
~$ 

~$ lspci -n
--- snip ---
04:00.0 0c03: 1912:0014 (rev 03)
--- snip ---
~$ 

/boot$ cat config-6.1.0-26-amd64 | grep -i CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS
# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS is not set
/boot$ 

Being 6.12 a release candidate (ie: in testing) this glitch will probably be ironed out by the time 6.12 is released, possibly by mid/end of november.

You may want to consider filing a bug report upstream bug report to make both your efforts count and the maintainers aware of the problem.

Hello:

Is this in Daedalus [stable] or Excalibur [testing]?

Because if it is Excalibur [testing], the answer to your question is in the suite's denomination.
ie: this part -> [testing].

Of course.

It will be unoubtedly solved by the time Excalibur [testing] becomes Excalibur [stable].
Maybe even before that, no way of telling.

Testing is an arduous process which takes both time and manpower, both rather in short supply here at Dev1.

No.
It is just part of/how the release cycle of any non-rolling Linux distribution works.

ie: it is ready when it is ready.

Hello:

It was my mistake.

I linked to the DragonflyBSD page because it is where all data / info / How-to is, very complete.

But forgetting that when I went looking for it, I also found it hard to get the package location, I neglected to explain that for Debian / Devuan it is called DMA. ie: DragonFly Mail Agent 

DragonflyBSD and DMA are the same application, different ports / packaging (?).

Best,

A.

Hello:

I had quite a few issues with connman and although they were (apparently) solved, I was not able to understand how I got it done.

Nor was I able to find out just wtf connman does, when it does it and most importantly, why it does it.

For the moment I am at peace with it but am looking to purge my system of it once I either get the old/reliable WiCD installed or just go the way you have, with basic ifupdown and /etc/network/interfaces file.

Seeing that you are already there, here's a useful page you may want to have a look at.

Best,

A.

Defense?
Whatever for?

None needed.
Not here.  8^)

Yes, you quite right.
And it was at that point that I realised what was going on.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Quite so.
And then, Devuan would be toast.

Debian (fundamentally, the ecosystem* behind it) knows this because it is, for the most part,  the path / timeline they have traced from the start.
Eventually, Debian (at least as we know it today) will also cease to exist and be replaced with whatever it is they eventually come up with. 
* MS, RH, IBM, Alphabet, etc.

The next step, already in motion, is this cross-distro unification idea.
And when that has become the norm, the question they will be asking will be "why do we have so many distributions?", the answer being quite obvious:

                        Why not have just The One OS for everyone, much easier to maintain.
                        And control.

Imagine, even a simple AI will be able to do it.   8^°

It is not a prophesy or any such thing, the writing has been on the wall for the longest time.
Way before Poettering's 2010 screed.

Hello:

Hmmm ... Sharp.
You may have a something there.

From when all init software thing came into my field of view a few years ago, (as a workstation/desktop/laptop user) I could really not understand the benefits of whatever other choice I had besides the default sysvinit software I had running in my system.

I mean ...
WTF4?

ie: to what advantage?   <- key question for anyone with a workstation / desktop / laptop / netbook / RPi / etc.

What I did realise right away (10+ years of MS registry maintenance under my belt) was what a radical change / departure from what Linux is the advent of systemd brought along, so I looked for something else and found Devuan Jesse.

Thanks for that.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Quite all right, no problem here.

Yes ...
Like I wrote earlier, age does have consequences.

Had already posted when I realised what had happened.
But then, I would have never expected for connman~ to be loaded.

Don't worry, it will pass.
Soon you'll be your cheerful self again.  ;^ )

Do have a good week-end.

Best,

A.
