[ubuntu 22.04] Firefox keeps forgetting logins - eviltoast

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.

    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!
