Apps uninstalling themselves?
Apps uninstalling themselves?
I'm running Ubuntu, and every once in a while, I boot up my PC and some app is missing that was there previously. Last night I shut down my computer, and this morning Firefox was missing. I lost all my browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, extensions, etc.
This has happened several times before. Does anyone know what's going on? I know I'm not personally removing any of these apps. Is there something I could be doing unknowingly to do this?
You're viewing a single thread.
Firefox is a snap package on Ubuntu and I had a similar thing happen where it would lose all my settings when it randomly updated.
You could try installing it as a PPA package: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04
I'll try the deb install instead of snap. I don't know if/when I'll find out if it makes a difference though.
I never had it disappear right enough.... However, I ended up installing chrome after Firefox losing all my stuff twice.
don't you sync your account so you will be able to retrieve your bookmark etc?
No, I never bothered as I like to keep my work/personal stuff separate (on different machines)
You can keep a copy of your FF profile and just load it on a fresh install anytime so you don’t need to reinstall extensions and reconfigure settings.
Cool, didn't know that! I usually use a distro hop as a fresh start to ignore my ever growing "to-read" folder 😂
