      @RIKKO14 ok,seen this before… MOST times this works

      stop MagicMirror

      cd ~
      rm -rf .config/Electron
      

      note the dot in front of config

      restart MagicMirror

              @RIKKO14 correct… in linux most commands return nothing if successful…

              so that is good… you asked to erase a folder
              and it did that

              now restart MagicMirror

              pm2 start MagicMirror

                  @RIKKO14 fun… try this

                  we need to edit a js file

                  cd ~/MagicMirror/js
                  nano electron.js
                  

                  scroll down to

                  	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                  

                  add a bank line after

                  on the blank line, copy/paste these lines

                  	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                        event.preventDefault();
                        // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                        shell.openExternal(url);
                    });
                  

                  so it looks like this when you are done

                  	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                  	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                        event.preventDefault();
                        // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                        shell.openExternal(url);
                    });
                  	mainWindow.loadURL(`${prefix}${address}:${config.port}`);
                  

                  ctrl-o to save the file
                  ctrl-x to exit nano
                  cd …

                  then

                  pm2 restart MagicMirror
