Snap for me means Firefox suddenly says “I won’t open a new tab until you update me and I will drop all tabs on restart”. It also means cached content and configs in many new obscure places. It doesn’t mean any visible improvement so far. So hey, kudos Mint and hey, Ubuntu stop that already.
- simosx 6y agoThere is a snap package for Firefox, but in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Firefox comes from the Deb package. Did you switch to the snap package yourself?
- slim 6y agoFirefox does that in debian stable. but it's supposed to restore your tabs like they were
- lottin 6y agoSince when?
- adamnew123456 6y agoThat should only happen if you update from underneath it by doing an upgrade though, which is entirely at your discretion with apt. The snap equivalent is obligatory. That said, the update auto-restore almost always works in my experience. I've been running the nightly channel for a while (which updates once or twice a day) and it rarely eats tabs.
- morsch 6y agoIt doesn't auto-restore my session either, but I can usually (always?) get it back using the "Restore previous session" item from the menu. (Also, like the siblings say, that's not a snap thing. If I understand it right, snap might just auto-restart without the courtesy "I can't open a new tab" message.)
- kyrofa 6y agoUh yeah, that's just Firefox in general, from a snap or a deb.
- m463 6y agoI learned a long time ago to block firefox from contacting mozilla related domains. It does too much unwanted stuff in the background. I update it on my schedule.
