Upgrade To Ubuntu 22.04

I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 both LTS editions. I am keen on staying on the more stable line of linux and doing what's less audacious. I am trying to upgrade from one long term support release to another LTS to see if that kind of upgrade choice has improved. I did a "do-release-upgrade -d" procedure and in the back of my mind I entertained dark thoughts of upgrading to a "d" release even though Ubuntu 22.04 has been officially released. What I actually did was: (1) looked at my /home directory and my files. Made sure these are backed up/ sync to somewhere else not your local computer, the computer I am upgrading.   (2) #apt update && #apt upgrade.  These dual commands updates all packages in my current Ubuntu version.    (3) #apt autoremove.  This command removes all packages that are no longer necessary.    (4) #do-release-upgrade -d.

But the developers of keepassxc released a new improved version not a week ago, so I decided to upgrade. Unfortunately, I can get the new version using snap or a PPA and decided to download the snap from the website . After the installation, I tested the password manager with my browser and it is broken. It worked before with the old version. So my search for a solution pointed me to this page: troubleshooting browser integration with keepassxc . If you have keepassxc and using Linux, first check your version and how you install it. Then if you want browser integration which is a very neat thing to have if you are a password manager user, open the browser integration tab within the application. I use Mozilla Firefox and I need to download an add-on called keepassxc-browser. Keepassxc should be connecting with my browser but there's a glitch. A
