Gah.

I had this all set up and running in Catalina -- but suddenly the Kindle-for-Mac app decided it would never open again. Ever. Dunno why -- but I was also doing a lot of overloading the RAM with bazillions of Firefox tabs at the time, and getting a lot of kernel panics. I mean, like 40 or 50 crashes. The crashes have calmed down since I pared down the windows and tabs open, but the Kindle app still won't open.

I originally used the "chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test" string; if I want to remove that to see if I can get the app to open, do I use "chmod +x (etc.)"?

I know you've posted this instruction somewhere, but now that I need it I can't find it.

If you have any other suggestions, any ideas would be welcomed!
