upgrading to 22.04 kills firefox

[Bob]

spent good part of yesterday  doing a clean install.
get same results.
but watched the loading results closely

hung up at "waiting for autorestart of snapd"

it never did autorestart. said check path??

what path. don't even know where to look.
firefox is installed and loads with good expected screen BUT unable to 
make connection with internet or server.  although this computer using 
different version of kubuntu has no trouble.   would think the Kubuntu 
team would have a second server installed (such as midori) or something so 
linking to internet would be possible to get whatever is needed.

????? ready to throw  hands up and reload 20.04 without long term support 
but at least it works, can't even make a bug report.
