sbportal: Update to firefox version 78.9.0

[david]

tested on bacon

I've tried to test it and activated via "sbportal". It opened with two tabs (One with a message about the change with the profile and a hidden tab with the portal), but the whole page was greyed out and I could switch tabs ot do anything. MAYBE related to the enormous slowfullness of X11 over slow link...

[donald]

Part of the problem was, that it wasn't configured for my socks proxy, so the MPG page is not reachable. But the windows is just to slow to do serious test from home. Sorry.

[david]

Thanks for the note with the 2 tabs, I thought I fixed that.
I have test it with vnc.

I dont find a way to get rid of 'change profile' message. It only shows at first start. Maybe it is acceptable.

[donald]

I no longer get a "new profile" message (maybe because I've run it before? Obiously a new profile is used, because session cookie and stored password are gone). Anyway after typing in my password, I get the "Do you want to save the password " popup and again I'm stuck. Trying to select "no" there doesn't activate the option. Instead I sooner or later get a "not responding" popup from the window manager. Even if I dismiss that, I can't get behind the requestor. I'm sure this is due to my slow line (X11 from home) and works locally. Maybe, because the Firefox main window shows this animated "loading" icon and this eats up all bandwiths, so my mouse clocks don't get through.

[david]

Yes, the "new profile" message is gone, because you have run it before.
I think, the problem is your internet connection. For me it works with X11. It is slow, but it works.

[donald]

Then merge it, if its just me. I usually use my normal Firefox with https://sbportal.sap.mpg.de/irj/portal/classic anyway.
