Firefox and Snap Annoying message
From Rex Bouwense · Aug 04, 2022
I am using an Ubuntu 22.04 "flavor" as my day to day operating
system. As you may or may not know Canonical has decided to
install Firefox as a Snap program by default. It is taking a bit
longer to launch but I live with that. However, every time there
is an update to the program, I get a warning message that Snap
will update in X days. The message is annoying because it shows
up daily. I found out how to get rid of it. You can either close
Firefox and wait for Snap to update Firefox (which could take as
long as 6 hours until the next Snap update) or close Firefox, open
a terminal and type snap refresh firefox This will
update Firefox and it only takes seconds depending upon your
internet speed.
