Thanks for the help. This installation, where I have tried to debug the problem, is installed in a virtual machine. Other installations are on bare metal. I did the Firefox 128.0 update manually. 128.0.2 seemed to be available for five days before Firefox updated directly to 128.0.3 This is the longest time Firefox in this virtual machine has waited for an automatic update. Otherwise, I have normally updated manually.
I have had the virtual machine running various times a day, and have observed that the snaps update check has taken place before shutting down the virtual machine. Sometimes Firefox has been running and sometimes I haven't started it at all after starting the machine. I got to check out one of these other installations. At some point, Firefox was updated to the latest version. However, other, including security updates, were still not installed. Among other things, the kernel was still in version 6.8.0-35. The use of this computer has been normally 3-5 times a week, 1-2 hours a day. I haven't been able to check this third installation, where I also encountered this old version of Firefox about a week after the release of the newer version. This computer is used even less often than the previous one. But it had been used a couple of times during that week, probably for about half an hour at a time. I paid attention to the Firefox update problem when I wanted to see how the update notifications look like in this latest version of Ubuntu. I noticed that security updates happen in the background, often without notification to the user during machine shutdown. I haven't seen the Firefox update notification when Firefox has been running. I have also never seen a notification about other system updates, even though a week has been selected as the notification interval and new package updates have already been available for a couple of weeks. But these other update problems do not fall under Firefox's bug in any way. Should this bug be closed, and then if necessary make a new one under the snapd package? -- 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/2074295 Title: Firefox won't auto update on Ubuntu 24.04 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The problem has occurred to me in three new installations.
