I am testing Kubuntu 23.10 on a VM and snapd says there are no outdated snaps when there are.
Firefox is at 118.0.1 when the latest is 118.0.2. I have also tested Kubuntu 22.04 and it does not have this problem.
What could be causing this?
âUsuallyâ it would mean that a firefox process is still running.
else please post the results of snap refresh --list and snap changes
hm what does âsnap info firefoxâ say?
Also i am not sure what Tracking latest/stable/⊠means here , usually it would imply that you are following some (no longer existing) branches. In that case snap refresh firefox --channel=latest/stable might change something (actually it should not change anything). But this seems to imply that you were doing something fancy before?
It is tracking latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 which doesnât update, when switching to regular latest/stable it updates. I also tested Ubuntu 23.10 and it also came tracking latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 which also doesnât update, even when using the graphical snap store.
This HAS to be a VM-related bug, right?
Could you please post the result of snap info firefox while tracking latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 ?
This might also be a store issue (?). Maybe open an issue or ask in the store category?
I have also faced this wired thing, I updated from 23.04 to 23.10 but the firefox was from latest/stable instead of ubuntu-23.10/stable. The caveat is, latest/stable doesnât use wayland for firefox.
Not sure why you say such a thing. It surely does. Running firefox stable (119.0.1-1) on native wayland (debian bookworm/gnome) without issues. I set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 in the environment though (not sure if that is still necessary).
https://github.com/canonical/firefox-snap/blob/stable/firefox.launcher#L55
From firefox latest stable
from the link you posted
# Default to XWayland until native Wayland support is properly tested
# (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1725245)
[ -z "$MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND" ] && export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0
this means, if you do not set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND it defaults to disable native wayland support.
just set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND
Yup⊠set it to 1 for now if you wanna use or use the ubuntu-23.10/latest/stable channel

Ah, I missed those channels, thanks. But the track you gave is wrong (âubuntu-23.10â track does not exist). Looks like it should be âstable/ubuntu-23.10â or âstable/waylandâ should be usable (from âlatestâ track).
