|    Why snap again?    |

      From: lws4art@gmail.com              So why are we defaulting to snap for Firefox? Besides sandboxing wasn't       it do have the latest and greatest version right? In installed Ubuntu       23.04 on a laptop. Found that you cannot just copy the profile from deb       install to snap, you have to create a new profile and just copy the       "important files" to the new snap version. I use to just copy the whole       profile directory, even when transferring from Windows to Linux just       worked. Any way created a scrip to simplify the process. But now to the       latest and greatest version bit...              The snap version was 111.0 where on my other laptop with 22.04 LTS where       I dumped the snap for the deb using the mozillateam-ubuntu PPA it is       running 113.0.1 same a Windows.       firefox:        Installed: 113.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1              Did another update on 23.04       Now firefox is at 113.0 but seemed to lag the deb version...       firefox:        Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3              snap info firefox | grep installed       installed: 113.0-2 (2655) 255MB -              So the whole snap thing just seemed to unnecessarily complicate things.              --       Take care,              Jonathan       -------------------       LITTLE WORKS STUDIO       http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
