ok - browser installation has now been fixed.

Run in a terminal the following to refresh all snaps installed.

snap refresh

Any packages (budgie applets and themes) will not be installable on 20.04 yet. Those packages will be made available in the next few weeks.

applets and themes should now be installable from budgie welcome for 20.04
