Matthieu, more recently a more likely problem has been characterized by Alberto 
Mardegan and found the line in question in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1973321

In particular, restarting snapd doesn't help at all for me, so having
the directory mounted before snapd starts doesn't help, and the same
problem occurs with other file systems. However _starting_ outside the
home directory does help. This is the situation for me with Kerberos
authenticated NFS, and others with sshfs. I don't know whether it is
relevant for people using NFS without authentication. It is easy to test
for yourself - restart snapd and see if that helps.

So I think there is progress in understanding the problem, even if not
working out how to fix it.

FYI: I initially tried a work around where I used the debian repository
for firefox instead of the snap version, but despite giving it a higher
priority (confirmed via "sudo apt policy firefox") I found the debian
package twice over a week uninstalled and replaced by the snap version
that then would not start. I can manually revert it but it is
inconvenient. Any suggestions on how to make that work reliably would be
appreciated.
