Fixing the “Pending Update of Firefox snap” Error in Ubuntu
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Ubuntu 22.04, you might have received this notification.
|
||||
|
||||
![Notification about pending Firefox app][1]
|
||||
|
||||
It notifies you that the Firefox update is pending and asks you to close the app to avoid disruption.
|
||||
|
||||
So, like a good obedient Ubuntu user, you close the Firefox browser when you have saved or finished your work.
|
||||
|
||||
You think that Firefox was updated in the background and restarting the browser will run the newer version.
|
||||
|
||||
Only, that is not the case here.
|
||||
|
||||
**Even after you restart your browser or even your computer, it may still show the same “pending update of Firefox” notification.**
|
||||
|
||||
Frustrating? I can relate.
|
||||
|
||||
Let me explain why it is happening and what you can do to ‘fix’ it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixing the ‘pending update of Firefox snap’ problem
|
||||
|
||||
Earlier, Firefox used to update in the background and then required you to restart the browser. It would not have let you [open any website until you restarted the browser][2].
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox forced restart in the past][3]
|
||||
|
||||
After switching the [Firefox browser to Snap packaging by default][4], the Ubuntu team made some changes to the update process.
|
||||
|
||||
This notification is part of that ‘improved user experience.’ Here, Firefox is not stopping you from browsing anymore. It asks you to restart the browser at your convenience to update.
|
||||
|
||||
But why does it keep showing the notification even after your restart the browser or the system?
|
||||
|
||||
Because it’s a poor notification message that doesn’t give you the complete information.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Firefox update hasn’t even begun
|
||||
|
||||
When you see the ‘pending Firefox update’ you wrongly presume that the application has been updated in the background and restart will upgrade it to the newer version.
|
||||
|
||||
That’s the case here. The snap packages in Ubuntu refresh (update) automatically once or a couple of times a day. To avoid disruption of work where Firefox doesn’t let you browse anything until you restart to install the updates, Ubuntu doesn’t even update the Firefox Snap package in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, when the Snap package refresh takes place, **it shows the notification and expects you to close the browser immediately**so it can be updated with other Snap packages.
|
||||
|
||||
But that’s not what users like you and me can do, right? See the notification, and close the browser immediately? Not very convenient.
|
||||
|
||||
But when you get the time to close the browser, the Snap refresh is not taking place to update the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
You can see that a newer Snap version of Firefox is available but it won’t be installed automatically as long as Firefox is running.
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox snap won’t be updated automatically if the browser is running][5]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Updating Firefox Snap
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s what you need to do to get rid of the update notification that keeps on appearing daily.
|
||||
|
||||
* Close the Firefox browser
|
||||
* Manually run the Snap refresh (update the installed snap packages)
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that your work in the Firefox browser is saved. Now, close all the Firefox browsers using your mouse or run this command in the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo killall firefox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now that Firefox is not running anymore, update the Snap package(s):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo snap refresh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You’ll see that it starts downloading the newer Firefox package.
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox is being updated with Snap][6]
|
||||
|
||||
Once the update is finished, you’ll see the summary that Firefox has been upgraded to a newer version.
|
||||
|
||||
![Updated Firefox snap version][7]
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Installing a non-Snap version of Firefox could also be the solution here but not everyone can go down that road.
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox and Snap developers must come together to improve this ambiguous update process. They should provide a better mechanism that doesn’t only show the notification on pending updates but also gives the option to start the update.
|
||||
|
||||
This is one of the many weird things we have seen with Ubuntu recently. This must change to make Ubuntu a beginner-friendly distribution (again).

修复 Ubuntu 中的 “Pending Update of Firefox snap” 错误
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
如果你使用的是 Ubuntu 22.04，你可能已收到此通知。
|
||||
|
||||
![Notification about pending Firefox app][1]
|
||||
|
||||
它会通知你 Firefox 更新正在等待中，并要求你关闭应用以避免中断。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，就像一个听话的 Ubuntu 用户一样，你在保存或完成工作后关闭 Firefox 浏览器。
|
||||
|
||||
你认为 Firefox 已在后台更新，重启浏览器将运行较新版本。
|
||||
|
||||
只是，这里不是这样。
|
||||
|
||||
**即使在你重启浏览器甚至计算机后，它仍可能显示相同的 “pending update of Firefox” 通知**。
|
||||
|
||||
令人沮丧么？我可以联系起来。
|
||||
|
||||
让我解释一下为什么会发生这种情况，以及你可以做些什么来“修复”它。
|
||||
|
||||
### 修复 “pending update of Firefox snap” 问题
|
||||
|
||||
早些时候，Firefox 曾经在后台更新，然后要求你重启浏览器。它不会让你[在重启浏览器之前打开任何网站][2]。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox forced restart in the past][3]
|
||||
|
||||
在将 [Firefox 浏览器切换为默认 Snap 打包][4]后，Ubuntu 团队对更新流程进行了一些改动。
|
||||
|
||||
此通知是“改进的用户体验”的一部分。在这里，Firefox 不再阻止你浏览。它要求你在方便时重新启动浏览器以进行更新。
|
||||
|
||||
但是为什么即使在你重新启动浏览器或系统后它仍然显示通知？
|
||||
|
||||
因为这是一条糟糕的通知消息，无法为你提供完整的信息。
|
||||
|
||||
#### Firefox 更新还没有开始
|
||||
|
||||
当你看到 “pending Firefox update” 时，你错误地认为应用已在后台更新，重启会将其升级到较新的版本。
|
||||
|
||||
这就是这里的情况。 Ubuntu 中的 snap 包每天会自动刷新（更新）一次或几次。为了避免在重新启动安装更新之前 Firefox 不允许你浏览任何内容而导致工作中断，Ubuntu 甚至不会在后台更新 Firefox Snap 包。
|
||||
|
||||
相反，当 Snap 包刷新时，**它会显示通知并希望你立即关闭浏览器**以便可以使用其他 Snap 包进行更新。
|
||||
|
||||
但这不是像你我这样的用户能做到的，对吧？看到通知，立即关闭浏览器？不是很方便。
|
||||
|
||||
但是，当你有时间关闭浏览器时，不会进行 Snap 刷新来更新浏览器。
|
||||
|
||||
你可以看到更新的 Snap 版本的 Firefox 可用，但只要 Firefox 正在运行，它就不会自动安装。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox snap won’t be updated automatically if the browser is running][5]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 更新 Firefox Snap
|
||||
|
||||
这是你摆脱每天不断出现的更新通知所需要做的事情。
|
||||
|
||||
* 关闭 Firefox 浏览器
|
||||
* 手动运行 Snap 刷新（更新已安装的 snap 包）
|
||||
|
||||
确保你在 Firefox 浏览器中的工作已保存。现在，使用鼠标关闭所有 Firefox 浏览器或在终端中运行以下命令：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo killall firefox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
现在 Firefox 不再运行，更新 Snap 软件包：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo snap refresh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
你会看到它开始下载更新的 Firefox 包。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox is being updated with Snap][6]
|
||||
|
||||
更新完成后，你将看到 Firefox 已升级到更新版本的摘要。
|
||||
|
||||
![Updated Firefox snap version][7]
|
||||
|
||||
### 总结
|
||||
|
||||
安装非 Snap 版本的 Firefox 也可能是解决方案，但不是每个人都可以走这条路。
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox 和 Snap 的开发人员必须齐心协力改进这个模棱两可的更新过程。他们应该提供更好的机制，不仅显示待处理更新的通知，还提供启动更新的选项。
|
||||
|
||||
这是我们最近在 Ubuntu 上看到的许多奇怪的事情之一。这必须改变以使 Ubuntu 成为一个对初学者友好的发行版（再次）。
