Firefox on ubuntu 22.04 always vanishes after some time
Hi all. I have been using firefox with ubuntu 22.04 for about since when ubuntu 22.04 was released (2022).
On firefox, I usually use the nordpass and tab grouping extensions. For the third or fourth time in a row, firefox has simply vanished from my system from day to night.
I click the icon and nothing happens. I try typing "firefox" in the terminal and get
Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed. Please install it with:
snap install firefox
Even if I accept the bizarreness of snap simply deciding from one day to another that I don't have this package (or did I never have it and never needed it in the first place?) and try "snap install firefox" I get:
snap "firefox" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'
After reading the result of "snap refresh help" I decided to "snap refresh" to update all of it's packages. Still, "snap install firefox" and "firefox" keep giving me the same result.
What is happening here?

Okay, I don't know what happened but "sudo apt-get install firefox" solved the issue. This time I didn't lose all my favorite tabs, etc.
