Move away from snapped Firefox on Ubuntu Keep it simple and just unpack official Mozilla's archive into some home subdirectory doing next simple steps. ===== Choose and download Firefox tarball for a language you prefer from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/116.0/linux-x86_64/ You can find another versions there: esr, beta or even nightly. Untar this $ tar xf firefox-116.0.tar.bz2 ===== We got a 'firefox' folder with Firefox Browser. Move it to some suitable place. I prefer a folder where Firefox stores it's data - ~/.mozilla. But since ~/.mozilla/firefox already exists and consists user profiles give 'firefox' binary folder another name. I named it 'firefox_bin' there: $ mv firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_bin ===== Create a shortcut to Firefox executable in a main menu by placing this to ~/.local/share/applications/Firefox.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Firefox Browser Type=Application Categories=Network;WebBrowser; Exec=/home/vall/.mozilla/firefox_bin/firefox-bin Icon=/home/vall/.mozilla/firefox_bin/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png ===== Final step is to remove all that fat garbage $ sudo apt purge firefox snapd $ sudo apt autoremove ===== If Firefox runs with an empty profile you can find old one and manage profiles in about:profiles.
