   My Ubuntu 24.10 has 131.0.2-1 but   
      
   snap refresh --time   
   timer: 00:00~24:00/4   
   last: 2024-09-25   
   hold: forever   
   next: 12 days ago, at 16:03 MST (but held)   
      
   I ran 'snap refresh --unhold'   
      
   snap refresh --time   
   timer: 00:00~24:00/4   
   last: today at 11:38 MST

   However an explicit 'snap refresh firefox' shows   
      
   error: cannot refresh "firefox": snap "firefox" has running apps   
   (firefox), pids:   
          5016,5217,5231,5329,5489,5547,693521,1054791,1054984,1055117   
      
   I have seen this before with Thunderbird when upgrading. If the app is   
   running snap will not refresh it.   
      
   killall firefox   
   rbowman@kropotkin:~$ snap refresh firefox   
   firefox 135.0.1-1 from Mozillaâś“ refreshed   
      
   I seldom reboot or close running applications. I may have put the refresh   
   on hold since it doesn't really work and fails silently.
