Hi. Just installed a fresh copy of LL 6.0 on a PC for a friend to use to wean them off Windows -;
Installed LL 6.0 and did one update. Kernel now 5.15.0-37-generic
Went to Package Manager to add Firefox and learnt that Ubuntu based distros are now using Snap for FF. Installed Firefox Snap but failed with:
Package Manager is now sitting in the system tray and will not end.
What is the best way forward and how do I get rid of any "loose" ends
Thanks
Alan
