![]() But if you, dear reader, encounter similar issues then I have two solutions:ġ) I developed this command line to kill the firefox snap process, and if you keep it ready in a terminal window, then you might prevent the need to press reset on your machine: I doubt the developers will read this, since if they were listening to anybody except the voices inside their heads, then they would have known about the issues with snaps from many other sources. I've had about 2 freezes on linux in my entire working life before this, so this unreliability in a very important part of my workflow was driving me up the wall. The machine would slow, and If I wasn't quick to kill it, the entire machine would freeze. Snaps might have many fine features, but the security prevented firefox from drag and drop of files for uploading, which was annoying, but worse was that after opening a few tabs sometimes firefox would just hang. I've used ubuntu since redhat went rogue, and I've used firefox since netscape went out in the late 90's, and I've never encountered such a terrible piece of software as this snapcrap which I was forced to install in ubuntu 22.04. the only reason i'm not switching back to chrome is because i hate it more. how many times am i going to have to uninstall snap? you know what they call software they automatically installs other software without asking you? malware. it then install snap and "upgrades" itself to the snap version. ĮDIT: it's also very upsetting that firefox will revert any manual installation you do (eg, via. ![]() ![]() Then you're stuck with the ridiculous snap sandbox filebrowser thing instead of the system one (bogus scaling on xhdpi systems, and coloring doesn't match the system theme). I'm thrilled with how quick snap firefox launches, and how you almost don't even notice the difference.until you go to download a file or anything along those lines. I was able to manually download the debian deb and "dpkg -i" it (also had to manually upgrade libnss3 the same way, ugh), but this is very annoying.Īnd it's not just a preference thing either. I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and was forced to take the snap.
