It basically IS the cause as it’s the system doing the updates without asking. But snap has other issues too. For one, it’s the slowest installer in recorded human history, it takes literally ten times longer on snap to install anything. Why? Beats me, in theory it ought to be faster as it shouldn’t have to resolve dependencies but here we are. Try installing anything with snap, it takes forever.
Then, snap is closed source eon the server side, so fuck all of that, that’s already 200% of reasons not to use it ever. I don’t trust closed source software anymore
By “problem” I meant having to close Firefox before further browsing, not automated updates - I don’t know if I could stand daily-driving a system with Snap updating my stuff while I’m trying to use it tbh, that’s one of the main reasons I left Windows behind.
Your first comment gave me the impression that Firefox required a restart because it’s distributed officially through Snaps or something, idk 27 days have passed since then
Ah gotcha, it’s not the cause but it makes the problem way worse
