upgrading to 22.04 kills firefox

[Bob]

Catch 22, can't run Wine even if I wanted to as it is not loaded and would 
have to be downloaded from internet, which is problem because I can't link 
to internet!


why would I want to mess with Wine I run Linux because I don't like 
anything Windows,   why won't it run natively and if not Firefox something 
else.
  problem is I can't download anything because it won't link to internet, I 
would downgrade to 20.04 which I know works first.
