upgrading to 22.04 kills firefox

[Bmarsh]

Since I've never used snaps and never needed to, I wonder what you're doing.    I guess you're still using the live dvd or whatever...

 have 12tb and have a 4tb new partition for 22.04 so size is not the 
 problem. the problem I am pretty sure is with Snapd.  carefully watching 
 the install it hangs at "snapd auto restart...." and nothing happens for 
 many minutes then it tells me to check the path and goes on with the 
 install.  the 22.04 install seems to work fine Except for the fact that 
 it cannot link to the internet.
   I have been using one flavor or another of Linux since about Red Hat 3.1 
 or so, switched to several others over the years when Red Hat went Fedora 
 and finally landed on Kubuntu 16.04 so have been at this a while.  I 
 switched to Linux at Y2K since what I was running would die then.
 thanks
 Bob
