apt-get install firefox-geckodriver won't work on Ubuntu 22(.04?) #576

This seems to be because Firefox for ubuntu 22(.04?) got moved to a snap package.

See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/firefox-geckodriver-package-is-now-missing-from-ubuntu-22-04/29486 And https://askubuntu.com/questions/1399383/ubuntu-22-04-jammy-traditional-deb-package-for-firefox

It would be great if someone could simplify the instructions on the second link and confirm that Panther will then also work.

Thanks, cheers!

Well, turns out it was no big deal! I installed Firefox through the snap package ... sudo snap install firefox and I manually put the geckodriver in a folder already referenced in $PATH and then the usual command ... vendor/bin/bdi detect drivers ...led to the identification of the geckodriver. All done!
