Firefox won't run on Ubuntu 22.04

pt flag

When I click on the Firefox icon it seems to work because the little wheel appears and revolves. However, it soon disappears then nothing else happens. When I go into the terminal and ask which firefox the result is /snap/bin/firefox but when I use this path in terminal it doesn't work. I cannot find firefox in anything called 'bin' it is in the snap folder.

Please add the output of `snap list --all` to the question.

I'm having the same problem. Here is 'snap list --all' and results of running firefox on the command line. Note: when launching from the command line, firefox runs in spite of the warnings. (Adding the info here since I'm unable to comment.)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
