** Changed in: snapd Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Changed in: snapd Assignee: Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail) => Miguel Pires (miguelpires1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1980271 Title: Snap doesn't refresh automatically immediately after snap is quit when update is pending Status in snapd: Fix Committed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Impact / What Currently Happens ------------------------------ Many people open their chosen web browser (Firefox or Chromium) immediately after logging in and keep the app running continuously. Eventually, there will be a snap update available. The system notifies that there is a pending update and to "Close the app to avoid notifications." Most people will eventually close the app, but the pending update is not applied until the next snap refresh is attempted which could be hours away. This is a frustrating experience because it feels like the notification is not helpful. I think many users would prefer the snap to just update silently in the background with little or no notification. Test Case --------- From Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with the Firefox snap installed by default Keep Firefox running Wait for a new Firefox release (happens at least monthly) Receive a notification about a pending update for Firefox Close Firefox Wait a few minutes Open Firefox Workaround ---------- Close the app that needs to be updated Open a terminal and run this command: snap refresh Other Info ---------- This issue was mentioned in the original post and in the first comment at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/refresh-app-awareness-call-for-testing/29123 Suggested Mitigation -------------------- Would it help to run a `snap refresh` immediately after Ubuntu is booted?
