package firefox 106.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1 failed to install/upgrade: new firefox package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Cyril Joudieh]

I was upgrading Ubuntu 22.04.01 to 22.10 because I was having some problems with the Fan and the system unable to sleep. The other major problem was updating the system because Firefox was in this extremely slow snap. So I removed it from snap and installed it via apt and it was functioning normally until the release upgrade.

It kept asking me to WAIT or FORCE QUIT. After like 30 times being prompted I had to FORCE QUIT it.
