 Off my task bar!  Not sure I want to go from 3.9 to 3.7, 3.8 was ok to run from 3.9 bugs!

 David,
How are you running Gnucash?  Try "flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash" in terminal - this should force it to run the 3.7 flatpak version you have installed.
My shortcut to run the flatpak version is in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications if it helps...
I guess you've readup on the gnucash flatpak instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Regular_releases_from_flathub.org
I'm running Ubuntu 20.10 and this is what I get for flatpak list output...$ flatpak list

$

A few days ago I noticed some outdated runtimes, so I used $ flatpak remove <full application ID>and they're gone now. There may be a more efficient way to do it.
Maybe the version of GnuCash you're using is "pinned" to the highest version of GNOME you have? 
You might try removing all the packages flatpak is warning about and reinstalling GnuCash. It will definitely bring in whatever other flatpak packages it needs when you do that.
Again, if there's a more efficient way to do it, maybe someone with more flatpak experience will weigh in.

4.4 has been available via flatpak for a while now...
You should — also if no new GnuCash version was announced — sometimes runsudo flatpak update  # sudo is only required for systemwide installations

I did an apt remove and apt install, and now /usr/bin/gnucash=3.8 supports the finance quote again.  My gui is still 3.9 flatpak, unless it bugs out on me, and then I can use a term to use 3.8, perhaps more stable.  I still wonder when 4.4 will come to ubuntu 20.04 lts, apparently the current most recent ubuntu lts.  After having boinc bow out when I went to 20.04 lts, I was afraid I was losing another app to a declasse OS!
Just in time for end of month numbers!

The one in /usr/bin/gnucash is NOT the flatpak one, so you must have a partially installed / broken version of GnuCash installed on your system.
The command to launch the flatpak one is
$ flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
And you can pass additional arguments to it. SO for example:

$ flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash --version   GnuCash 4.4  Build ID: Flathub 4.4-4
