This bug was previously tracked as a duplicate of #1980271 - that bug was since marked as fixed by changes addressing the (single-)user experience absent privilege separation.
snapd 2.59.1 in the afaict default configuration still refuses to start an up-to-date instance (in parallel, if the firefox snap design truly requires keeping all versions still in use). The dangerously misleading "All snaps up to date." message is still printed on "snap refresh". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1985066 Title: cannot refresh snap "firefox": snap "firefox" has running apps (firefox) Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Firefox installed via 22.04 snap does not seem to update properly. There is a log line (or error printout on manual execution), but it does not really point me to the actual bug. I already know firefox is running for some other user - that machine is never up and not running firefox - but I do not see how that matters. # snap list firefox Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes firefox 103.0.1-1 1635 latest/stable mozillaâś“ - # snap info firefox | grep latest/stable tracking: latest/stable latest/stable: 103.0.2-1 2022-08-09 (1670) 171MB - # sudo snap refresh firefox error: cannot refresh "firefox": snap "firefox" has running apps (firefox), pids: 19113,19246,19268,19361,19524,19529,19588,19874,20047,20075,20105,20127 # firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 103.0.1 (expected: 103.0.2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1985066/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
