Error updating Firefox

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

I can currently still use Firefox.

ian at turing:~$ snap changes
ID   Status  Spawn               Ready               Summary
762  Done    today at 17:50 GMT  today at 17:50 GMT  Pre-download "firefox"
for auto-refresh
763  Error   today at 17:54 GMT  today at 17:54 GMT  Auto-refresh snap
"firefox"

When asked to quit Firefox to perform the update, I did so and didn't get a
message to reopen Firefox. So I did the abovementioned snap changes and saw
that the update seems to have failed.

I am running it on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64.

This is what snap info yields:
ian at turing:~$ snap info firefox
