I'm trying to connect to Firefox using proxychains. Everytime I try to connect it gives me this error:

failed to load module 'canberra-gtk-module'

I have looked at some articles and other posts, but nothing has worked so far, I downloaded several things, and I also made changes to some files, but the error keeps coming back.

  • Have you tried to install needed package by sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk3-module ? You wrote "made changes to some files" - which files were changed? – N0rbert Jan 09 '21 at 20:26
  • @N0rbert i already tried that command, the files i modified were proxychains.conf and /usr/bin/proxychains. I also found that the proxychain works with other commands but not with firefox. – WOLF1770 Jan 09 '21 at 22:31
  • This is also the error I now get when trying to launch Thunderbird and it happens since yesterday. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1312724/thunderbird-problems-as-of-1st-feb-2021 – justme Feb 02 '21 at 15:28
  • I had the same problem, for an unrelated program. It may be looking for an older version. Try adding libcanberra-gtk-module, which also adds libcanberra-gtk0, it did the trick for me. The clean solution would be of course to recompile from src. – Nikki Jan 30 '21 at 08:05
  • Could you elaborate what you mean by "add"? – blupp Feb 02 '21 at 09:37
  • I meant: sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module – Nikki Feb 06 '21 at 10:30

It's snap firefox, install it with apt get.

The canberra module is then solved as explained here:

sudo snap remove --purge firefox
sudo apt install firefox
