A few days ago I installed Ubuntu 22.04 on a new PC. Been using the Firefox snap that comes shipped with it for a couple of days, but after the scrolling was not very smooth and also the pinch zoom feature was not working, I decided to switch to the apt version following this answer. Now I got a better scrolling and pinch zoom but when I play music on YouTube it does not "connect" to Gnome and so I don't have control of the playback from my bluetooth headphones (play/pause/skip song, etc). I don't know if there are other features missing yet.

Is it possible to install one Firefox version that just works as expected?

I was able to get the better experience by keeping the snap version of Firefox and starting Ubuntu with Xorg instead of Wayland (whatever that means) by changing the selection in the login screen:

Now the scrolling is much more precise and I got back the inertial/kinetic scroll, as well as the Gnome desktop connectivity to control playback. The two finger pinch to zoom still does not work on the touchpad.

After you removed Firefox and reinstalled it As the link you sent show

You need to install Codecs on Ubuntu for Firefox to fix running videos and music problems that you are facing

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

sudo apt update


sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

After that enable DRM:

Menu Bar -> Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content -> Play DRM-controlled content
