  • Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
  • The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
  • Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

My working solution is literally running a Cron .sh which is

sudo umount /var/snap/Firefox/common/host-hunspell 2>/dev/null

Sudo snap disconnect Firefox:host-hunspell 2>/dev/null

If Firefox updates via snap, it will change back to bullshit. Is the case in every 22.04 VM I have on my machine as well. This script effectively gives me "/" back, and unfucks the rest of my machine.

It is a reason for me looking to leave Ubuntu after 12 years dedicated. Just because it makes no sense doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Man that's well and truly fucked. I would be wanting to ditch Ubuntu also. What distros are you thinking about trying?

Probably just go to Debian.
