"command not found" in lifecycle script when Firefox is installed in the Ubuntu image

[nasso]

I am using the Ubuntu image on Jammy (22.04). When I install the firefox package using apt-get in the Dockerfile, Node.js, which is installed using the features script defined in devcontainer.json, cannot be used from the postCreateCommand lifecycle script.

Note that:

• This only happens when I install firefox in the Dockerfile. Installing other packages works fine!
• The error doesn't occur on 20.04

One thing that might be related... starting from Ubuntu 22.04, firefox is a Snap package.

Interesting, seems i'm hitting this too (testing in Codespaces) with your example repo. Will dig it a bit more!

The path does indeed look different when including/removing firefox 🤔
