Bug Description

After upgrade from Lubuntu Impish 21.10 to Lubuntu Jammy - Firefox no longer on applications Internet menu

Performed a Lubuntu Jammy QA Upgrade test on 14-02-2022

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/429/builds/244252/testcases/1310/results

Before upgrading I made some changes to Firefox i.e changed the homepage,search engine - plus added 2 bookmarks.

The test went well with no errors in the upgrade itself. However after rebboting and logging in it was noted that the Firefox application was no longer on the "Internet" menu or elsewhere.Installed Firefox via Discover and all went well.

After installing Firefox - then checked if the settings that were made before the upgrade were still intact.Although the Firefox snap did not add Firefox to the menu - all the settings remained after the installation.

It certainly was the case that the old configuration didn't work for the Firefox snap and it just sorted of failed silently meaning that it read the configuration, didn't find the path specified, and simply just did not include the icon rather than warning about the problem. It went unnoticed until just recently with this upload:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/24.04.4

Unfortunately, I don't think this is something we can SRU so I suspect Jammy and Mantic will remain problematic.
