I don't like this at all. The Firefox snap has really bad crashing issues, and the filesystem sandbox makes using the file picker confusing especially for my nontechnical family members.

I tried using the snap, I really gave it an honest attempt, and it stinks. The final straw was when removing and reinstalling the snap deleted my Firefox profile. That was really unacceptable. Removing Firefox via apt doesn't wipe out ~/.mozilla

Snapd is now removed and pinned with negative priority on my Ubuntu systems so it will never be installed.

I'd like to find a PPA that builds vanilla Firefox but so far I've only come across ESR and Beta.

I've considered switching to Chromium over this nonsense though I'll try running tarball Firefox first, I didn't realize it could update itself. Maybe Librewolf is an option too.

Try abrowser from the Trisquel apt repo. It is a firefox rebuild with a few tweaks for privacy.
