Ideally things like this should 'just work' and perhaps best to push an update that fixes rather than relying on users to manually reinstall after the upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1986456 Title: Firefox fails to start after update Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After system Updates today (14.08.2022) firefox did not start anymore.
