2024-04-18 20:41:09 Ken Sharp summary Following a minimal install, installing Firefox does not create an icon A program's icons do not show until the user logs back in
2024-04-18 20:42:15 Ken Sharp description While testing Kubuntu Noble daily I chose a "minimal" install, which does not include a web browser. Afterwards I chose to install Firefox "sudo apt install firefox". This downloads snapd, the snap package and so on. When it is finished there is no icon in the program menu. (Screenshot) Also: I was going to log this separately but I suspect the cause is the same... When attempting to report this bug with "ubuntu-bug firefox" the application fails to open Firefox to continue, instead opening Kate with some HTML code (Screenshot).

Update: I tried Chromium and Thunderbird too - it's apparently an issue with snaps. Logging out and back in "fixes" the issues.
