package firefox 118.0.2+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: new firefox package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 143

[Olivier Mengué]

While upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 I had to kill the graphical app informing about the upgrade from deb packaging to snap package because the UI was irresponsive and so the Ubuntu upgrade was stopped.
