Before I proceed to installing UM 22.04 over my old version, I need to find my bookmarks.html in the Snap version of Firefox.
I would also like to learn to search a hard drive for a file from the terminal.
Thanks guys. 
If your goal is to simply save your bookmarks to import them into your new installation then open FF and Ctrl+Shift+O then in the window that opens click on Import and Backup then in the drop down menu click on Export Bookmarks to HTML... and now just select where you would like to export your bookmarks file such as a USB stick.When done with your new install plug the USB stick in and open FF and using the same procedure just select Import Boomarks from HTML... and select the stick as your source and you'll be all set.
There is no simple bookmarks.html file anymore.
The multiple historical snapshots of your bookmarks are now kept under a folder named "bookmarbackups".
That location for Snaps is reported in this posting.
Since those files are JSON format, and cannot be "copied" directly, when retrograding to earlier version of Firefox.
For that reason, you need to export the bookmarks in order to import them into that earlier version of Firefox.

It only exported my bookmarks toolbar.
I think there are less problems with .deb installations.
I installed UM 22.04 successfully.
No more problems with VLC.
I installed the .deb version of Firefox.
Now it exports my bookmarks.
No more problems having to use Celluoid instead of VLC.
Thanks guys for all your help.

Hey, hope everything works for you on the older LTS version! Maybe consider a switch when 24.04 reaches its final stages and things seem a bit more stable and there are less ongoing changes to the system with updates/upgrades

Alarik,
Version 22.04 works better for my situation.
I will be looking at what Software Updater does.
ex. If my Firefox is running fine, I probably do not need an update.
Sometimes too many changes in a program cause my confusion.
