Bug Description

My Lenovo desktop running Ubuntu 21.10 became unstable and bloated and in the interest of time, I decided to just reinstall the entire system using a fresh installation iso.

The system boots properly and the installer works without hassle until it tries to install firefox (apparently using snap). This is a behavior I could reproduce. The only workaround was to deactive network during installation. At this stage, the installation went comepletely fine.

After rebooting, the system hangs after clicking on the "Firefox" icon.

Installing a current Firefox using apt does not cause any crash.

I am not sure if this is related to bug #1947352.
