Fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04. Clicking on the Firefox icon doesn't work. In the command line some error messages can be seen:

$ firefox

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Following question How to install Firefox as a traditional deb package (without snap) in Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) suggests one of possible solutions: remove Firefox snap and install it from Mozilla Team PPA. Another working solution is to again remove snap and install via flatpak (Flathub link: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox). Hoping some day snap will be fixed and will be usable. At the moment it is not.
