[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1981286] [NEW] Firefox will not start if home folder not in /home

2022-07-13 Thread Launchpad Bug Tracker
You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When a user's home directory is not in /home Firefox will not start.  If
I try to start Firefox from the command line the following message is
output.

Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported. 
See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details.

It appears this is a result of the decision to use Snap to install
Firefox.  If so then this shouldn't have happened until the limitation
on Snap had been removed.

Kubuntu 22.04
Firefox 102.0.1-1
