Public bug reported:
System Info:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Firefox 100.0 (64 bit)
Thunderbird 91.8.1 (64 bit)
Received various updates yesterday which required a reboot. After
reboot, base system operates fine, but Thunderbird and Firefox fail to
open. As far as I can tell, these are the only applications affected.
Tried to file a ubuntu-bug report but Firefox was the default browser,
so that failed as well. I switched to Chromium as default and the bug
report succeeds.
Launching either Firefox or Thunderbird in Safe Mode from the terminal
succeeds.
As a troubleshooting step, I attempted to Mark All Upgrades, only files
available were:
apt (2.0.6) to 2.0.8
apt-utils (2.0.6) to 2.0.8
libapt-pkg6.0 (2.0.6) to 2.0.8
login (1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5.20.04.1) to 1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5.20.04.2
passwd (1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5.20.04.1) to 1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5.20.04.2
Of special note: yesterdays automatic updates do not appear in Synaptic
History. The only updates which appear in recent History are the ones I
manually applied. They do appear when using :
find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -name \*.list -mtime -3 | sed
's#.list$##;s#.*/##'
