I tried to remove those files before installing it but that error always raises.

I’m using Ubuntu 22.10 with snap version 2.57.5+20.10 (kernel 5.19).

Finally switched to Firefox’s Debian package.

I didn’t have any problem updating to 107. @oSoMoN, have you seen anything like this?

The following worked for me:

killall firefox
sudo umount /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell
sudo snap refresh
