Bug Description
I was reinstalling Firefox with the software manager and it got stuck near the end, with the message "Waiting for config file prompt".
I right clicked on the offending app and it gave me the option to cancel, but it was greyed out. I logged out and in again, but mintinstall is still trying to install and is still hogging apt. Firefox at this point is happily reinstalled and working fine.

It seems that after sorting out the installation issue through the CLI, it was waiting for a response from me on what to do with 'bookmarks.html' since I still had my old one. Software Manager had no option to answer this via the GUI.
