[ubuntu 22.04] Firefox keeps forgetting logins
[ubuntu 22.04] Firefox keeps forgetting logins
As the title says, FF seems to selectively forget cookies and thus requires me to constantly re-login.
I've had the exact same issue on two separate machines both running Ubuntu. My best guess is, that snap is at fault here, but I have no idea, why.
To reproduce the issue, I just have to perform the arcane ritual of "closing the app" and whoosh, cookies are gone. Plugins and settings persist, no "delete on close" option whatsoever is active. Vanilla Ubuntu shows exactly this behavior.
You're viewing a single thread.
Have you tried installing a non-snap version to confirm the theory?
@bahmanm @agressivelyPassive why is there so many issues with snap? I have ran into some issues with snap installed apps in just 2 weeks of using linux
Not an Ubuntu user, but I think it's all about how a snap uses filesystem, esp directories which are not writable by the "world", such as your home directory.
Yes, and that does not have the issue.
Would it make sense to stick to the good old DEB package instead of the snap then?
The Mozilla Team PPA seems to be legit. If you're not sure how to do it, please take a look at OMGI Ubuntu guide which uses the same PPA.
I thought the mozillateam PPA would start installing the snap too now, or has that change not happened yet?
I wanted to say "I'm not sure. I'm not on Ubuntu" but then I remembered about distrobox 😄
It took only a few minutes to confirm that the links I shared earlier (https://lemmy.ml/comment/3090571) do NOT install the snap version.
I just thought for sure I read somewhere, a few days ago, that the mozillateam PPA would start distributing the snap version instead, but either that was a lie or a joke, or it's a thing that might happen in the future.
Thanks for checking!
