I tested an upgrade from Lunar to Mantic today using ubuntu-release- upgrader version 23.10.7 which changed the snap update process from `snap refresh` to `snap switch` and still encountered this issue.
bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ /usr/bin/firefox -h Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed. Please install it with: snap install firefox bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ snap info firefox name: firefox summary: Mozilla Firefox web browser publisher: Mozilla\u2713 store-url: https://snapcraft.io/firefox license: unset description: | Firefox is a powerful, extensible web browser with support for modern web application technologies. commands: - firefox - firefox.geckodriver snap-id: 3wdHCAVyZEmYsCMFDE9qt92UV8rC8Wdk tracking: latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 refresh-date: today at 09:16 PDT channels: latest/stable: 118.0.1-1 2023-09-28 (3206) 252MB - latest/candidate: 118.0.1-1 2023-09-29 (3215) 252MB - latest/beta: 119.0b3-1 2023-09-29 (3214) 254MB - latest/edge: 120.0a1 2023-09-29 (3213) 274MB - esr/stable: 115.3.1esr-1 2023-09-28 (3207) 253MB - esr/candidate: 115.3.1esr-1 2023-09-28 (3207) 253MB - esr/beta: \u2191 esr/edge: \u2191 installed: 111.0.1-2 (2517) 253MB - I then ran snap refresh firefox: bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ snap refresh firefox firefox (stable/ubuntu-23.10) 118.0-1 from Mozilla\u2713 refreshed and /usr/bin/firefox worked again. ** Also affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/2037228 Title: Firefox doesn't work after 23.10 upgrade Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Firefox doesn’t work after upgrading from 23.04 to 23.10 beta.
