   Davey to All   
   Well that was interesting

   Booted up this morning, Ubuntu 22.04, In was using Firefox last night   
   until I went to bed. This morning, all I could get was the spinning   
   wheel, then nothing. Repeatedly.   
   Tried 'firefox' from the command line, was told it didn't exist, but   
   could be installed by 'sudo apt install firefox'.   
   So what happened to the previous version?   
   It installed firefox snapd, and luckily, all my previous tabs are still   
   there.   
   But the terminal shows unhappiness:   
   08:15:47.118: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is   
   provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it. libva info: VA-API

   Exiting due to channel error.   
   Exiting due to channel error.   
   Exiting due to channel error.   
   Exiting due to channel error.   
      
   It did not finish the installation on its own, it left it hanging at   
   'Exiting due to channel error'.The 'unhappiness' means nothing to me.   
   Channel error? Who he?
