I'm using Firefox 113.02 on Ubuntu 22.04.

These commands produce nothing:

._. man firefox
No manual entry for firefox

._. find  / -name "man" -xdev 2>/dev/null | grep firefox

I can see three snap dirs among my system files:

._. find / -type d -xdev -name "snap" 2>/dev/null
/home/bonzo/snap
/var/snap
/snap

If I search in /snap for man files and dirs with ._. find /snap -name "man" 2>/dev/null, I find they do exist for most default snaps - i.e. Chromium, cups, snapd and "/snap/core20".

(Those man pages that do seem to be there are not readily accessible, however).

._. man chromium
No manual entry for chromium

What must I do to read the Firefox manpage now that it is installed as a snap?

    I've found that for other snaps, the manpages were located at: /snap/<snap-name>/current/share/man. However, I've also experienced that not all snap applications has the manpages included. I believe it's a known issue. Jun 5, 2023 at 13:07
  • Yes indeed, there are fixes to activate manpages for apps installed via snap if the manpages are actually there...

I'm assuming there isn't one and any references to a firefox manpage would have been created so that firefox meets the requirements of a standard package.
