Yup, you need to shutdown firefox, open a terminal, run ‘sudo snap refresh’, wait for it to complete, then re-open firefox. Agreed that the process sucks :)

- PenguinCoder 4y agoDoes running a standard `apt update/upgrade` update the snap packages, even it they're in use?
- Avshalom 4y agoapt doesn't touch snaps at all afaict

You need to shut down Firefox, open a terminal, run 'sudo snap remove firefox', then 'sudo apt install firefox', wait for it to complete, then re-open Firefox. (I might be missing a step here)
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThe step you're missing is to add the Firefox PPA. Ubuntu's Firefox deb is just a Snap installation script.
- maccam94 4y agoYou also need to futz with apt repo priorities to force it to install the deb package instead of the snap installer -_-
