My ubuntu OS 16.04 would not allow any FF updates - I was on the latest 88.0. But by using snap i was able to update to FF 102. However next time I rebooted it was back to FF 88.0. So i tried reinstalling via the terminal with all the latest ubuntu updates which works because I have extended security maintenance until 2025. It reports that Firefox is installed but still nothing will open and i can find no record of my FF88 profile and settings all appear to be lost! Can anyone help in restoring this?

To do so in most distributions, open a terminal and type: /usr/bin/firefox . Go to the Firefox download page and click on the Download Now button. Open a terminal and go to the folder where your download has been saved. Extract the contents of the downloaded file by typing: Move the uncompressed Firefox folder to /opt:
