Re: [PLUG] Firefox on snap

[jeffv via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

apropos of nothing, I have a FF plugin that needed an additional helper 
program. It failed miserably. Installed native FF and it worked fine. 
Except, of course, missing whatever I did to the SNAP version in the 
meantime. Not sure I see this as progress.

Also, if speed needs to be improved.....


But then again, I'm usually the odd one.
