Linux Lite Forums

hi, I can't seem to open firefox which I installed via lite welcome.
i just jumped into linux few yesterday and i havew no idea from installing program, tanks

If you installed Firefox on Linux Lite version 6.0 via Lite Software, I think you have to reboot before Firefox will appear in the menu.

Can you provide more details on how you are trying to open firefox and what happens please.

hi, thx for reply
like a said its not open (its already show in menu). i have no idea why its not opening

Can you open a terminal by pressing the three keys  'Ctrl' 'Alt' and 't' at the same time.

In the terminal session that opens up at your username prompt type


followed by enter.  This should open a firefox window and give you your username prompt back.  If it doesn't let us know what happens, especially
if anything is shown in the terminal session, copy and paste it back here.

That looks like a snaps error message.    I'd suggest running the command


and posting it here just to see what it says, but I don't know enough about snaps to be any help - sorry.

Hopefully someone else can advise on next steps.

I installed FF into my VM from Lite Software and Rebooted it launched for me.
I did however recently run Lite Updates - you may want to try.. Also the snap list and snap changes commands may help too..

Not yet, looks like gnome-3-38-2004 is missing....

try the following command...


May not hurt to do a full reboot after not just a log off..
