Since a recent update to the firefox snap I noticed the window tittle doesn’t use the Ubuntu font anymore. I see the same problem both in the stable and in the beta channels. Can anyone reproduce?
Edit: important detail I missed, this is under Ubuntu 22.10.

Some more info.
The .tar of firefox works fine, so it seems to be an issue with the snap.
Also, not only the font in the interface is weird, also in some webpages. For example, see the screenshot with a google.com search with firefox installed via snap and the .tar.
Snap on the left, tar on the right.
I reported the bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1794821
Please, let me know if this is not the right place.
I found this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1991691
There is a new kernel package (actually in kinetic-proposed) which also fixes this issue. So it was not a problem with Firefox (Snap) directly.

This is sorta edge case, but I’m having trouble updating or installing a parallel-installed Firefox Nightly.
$ sudo snap install --edge --unaliased firefox_edge
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run hook connect-plug-host-hunspell of snap "firefox_edge" (run hook "connect-plug-host-hunspell":
-----
cannot update snap namespace: cannot inspect "/var/snap/firefox": lstat /var/snap/firefox: permission denied
snap-update-ns failed with code 1
-----)
Not sure if this is a Firefox thing, or a Snap thing.
are you running 22.10 ? there is a known kernel bug with namespaces …

Indeed it is. Sorry for the confusion, I didn’t see any other snap having problems.
It is solved as of today with the last update of the kernel on Ubuntu 22.10.
Aah that’s why! Any idea what caused it? I was on 5.19 on 20.04, and it was perfectly fine there.
On my Ubuntu 22.10 firefox seems not updated

Thanks! It appears to be fixed now as I’m able to update and install a parallel Firefox.
This was caused by the latest/stable/ubuntu-22.10 channel being open but not up-to-date. It has now been closed, so you should be automatically switched to latest/stable at the next refresh. Can you confirm?

On kinetic with latest stable snap, firefox crashes when trying to share a single window via pipewire (on wayland) in a google meet meeting. Sharing an entire monitor works, just not a single window. This used to work (for sure in jammy, possibly in earlier kinetic snapshots) but not sure when it broke.
Do you mind filing a bug?
