I therefore trimmed the bug description to only refer to that.

** Summary changed:

- firefox problems after upgrade: execv failed
+ update.go cannot change mount namespace

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Description changed:

  Today I upgraded 20.04 -> 22.04.
  After the upgrade firefox spammed the console:
  
-   update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount
+   update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount
  (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/doc none
  bind,ro 0 0): cannot write to
  "/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/local/share/doc" because it would affect the
  host in "/var/lib/snapd"
  
- but it worked more or less. If I tried to start a 2nd incarnation, firefox 
gave, after a few seconds,
- a popup window with "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To 
use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your 
device, or use a different profile."
- 
  The version firefox reported for itself was 146.0.1.
  
- I tried to get a fresh firefox and uninstalled snapd and firefox, and 
installed them again.

- Now starting firefox yields "execv failed: No such file or directory", and I 
have not been able to get a working firefox from ubuntu. Maybe the "is already 
installed" points to a problem?
- The current one is downloaded directly from Mozilla. Maybe Ubuntu no longer 
provides a non-snap firefox?
