Integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox
Comments
-
I am about to/trying to move from Kubuntu 22.04 to 24.04.1 (which came out yesterday).
The release upgrade script is telling me that only Firefox via Snap shall be an option; I am not given a choice to keep the .deb as installation option.
Since the upgrade failed and I had to rollback (thanks snapshots!), I cannot yet check whether I could still manually switch back from the snap to a .deb installation, after the upgrade.
The point being; Ubuntu is pushing snaps more agressively; please explain where we stand regarding the integration between the browser plugin and the local installation.0 -
There are multiple threads..
- There are still .debs available from other places other than Ubuntu themselves.
- You can remove the snap and their deb that installs the snap, and switch to third party debs (like Mozilla) if you like
- 1Password still doesn't have snap integration, as the way they verify the invoking browser process doesn't support snaps due to the way they sandbox
- If you use the snap version, you can use browser plugin standalone. It won't integrate with local instance of 1Password, but still works.
