Hi all, In my notebook i use xubuntu 18,04 os with firefox browser pre- installed. As form April 2024 when ubuntu standard support ended i use an ubuntu pro security subscription. Then, some time ago i saw the browser was not updated for over one year remaining at the 113.02 version. So according to ESM instructions i had to go with snap firefox, which i downloaded. I have the following questions for solving some issues: 1. Now i have 2 firefox browsers, one from regular ubuntu deb repositories and the other with snap.I have now to uninstall the old outdated version without causing any problems to the system or loose bookmarks. I will do that via software updater program, via terminal, or is there a recommended procedure ? 2'. Using the snap firefox browser as a default browser, i noticed some kind of malfunctions. p. ex a) trying to attach a file from the computer to an email the browser doesn’ t respond to open file selection. when i press "attach". With the old version this works fine. b) When i tried to export an html bookmarks file for backup, again the browser didn’t respond. This also works fine on the old version. Settings are fine and saved automatically from the previous version Any recommendation will be much helpful.
