Public bug reported: Firefox version information below. I don't think replacing the deb version with the snap was a good idea. If your home directory is outside of /home (quite common for central home directories on a file server mounted via NFS or some other way for example) you cannot use Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 anymore.
$ firefox Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported. See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details. This is a long standing issue and should have been addressed before replacing the deb with the snap version imho. --- $ snap info firefox name: firefox summary: Mozilla Firefox web browser publisher: Mozilla✓ store-url: https://snapcraft.io/firefox contact: https://support.mozilla.org/products/firefox license: unset description: | Firefox is a powerful, extensible web browser with support for modern web application technologies. commands: - firefox snap-id: 3wdHCAVyZEmYsCMFDE9qt92UV8rC8Wdk tracking: latest/stable refresh-date: today at 10:17 CEST channels: latest/stable: 98.0.2-1 2022-03-24 (1154) 162MB - latest/candidate: 99.0-2 2022-03-31 (1188) 163MB - latest/beta: 100.0b1-1 2022-04-05 (1200) 163MB - latest/edge: 100.0a1 2022-04-05 (1201) 179MB - esr/stable: 91.7.1esr-2 2022-03-14 (1116) 161MB - esr/candidate: 91.8.0esr-1 2022-03-30 (1184) 161MB - esr/beta: ↑ esr/edge: ↑ installed: 98.0.2-1 (1154) 162MB - ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1967844 Title: firefox snap does not work with home directories outside of /home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1967844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
