Public bug reported: Under 24.04 LTS I'd installed FireFox via https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux# and removed the Snap version
I ran the standard upgrade steps from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OracularUpgrades/Kubuntu At the end of install, before reboot, "snap list" shows the firefox Snap is now back, and there is a "firefox" package installed. The /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla file is still there. I suspect this is because 3rd party packages are disabled during upgrade, so the 24.10 firefox package was newer ? This still shouldn't cause a snap reinstall. It should result in FireFox being removed. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/2089159 Title: upgrade from 24.04 LTS to 24.10 reinstalled snap version of FireFox Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Under 24.04 LTS I'd installed FireFox via https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux# and removed the Snap version I ran the standard upgrade steps from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OracularUpgrades/Kubuntu At the end of install, before reboot, "snap list" shows the firefox Snap is now back, and there is a "firefox" package installed.
