Firefox wasn't opening on Kubuntu for me. When I ran it via terminal I got the following error.

Error: not connected to gnome-3-38-2004 content interface.

  1. Why does Firefox depends on Gnome on Kubuntu?
  2. Why doesn't it gets installed as Firefox dependency?

I am on fresh install of Kubuntu 23.04.

  1. Firefox Snap is packaged to use the GTK toolkit, which is why it requires gnome components.

  2. That that component is not installed as Firefox dependency must have been a glitch during installation. Else, it might be a packaging issue, but that seems unlikely to me: in that case the issue would have been identified and resolved quickly.
