I've run into this bug today as well. The workflow was: Firefox (via snap) was working as expected, I ran Virtualbox, the OOM killer terminated my open Firefox and Librewolf (via apt/dpkg) instances, finished using the VM, went to open back up Firefox and Librewolf. Librewolf opened back up as normal, but Firefox won't launch. When running `firefox` in the terminal, I get this output:
`/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1239.scope is not a snap cgroup` At no point was I logged out of my session. The output of `snap list` shows my system has the youtube-dl snap installed, and now running that gives the same error on launch as above. Interestingly, the `codium` snap does not have this issue, and launches normally as expected. I see some mention of VNC in the conversation above; my `xtightvncviewer` functionality is not affected by any of this. Also mentioned above seems to be comments about login being "done by their remote access tool": I'm affected by this bug and am not using any form of a remote access tool for logging in. Login/display manager appears to be SDDM. I'm using the Lubuntu flavor of Ubuntu, customized with WindowMaker installed as the window manager. Display server is X11. This issue occurred in an active session, where after login programs were functional for multiple days, and during the session suddenly the error appeared. I don't get any new log output from `journalctl --user` after running `firefox`. My system info and command outputs: ``` tom@tom:~$ uptime 13:01:35 up 20 days, 13:55, 22 users, load average: 0.63, 0.81, 0.81 tom@tom:~$ lsb_release -a; uname -a No LSB modules are available.
