I suppose my point is that Firefox shouldn't have made the decision to
move to snap when there was a known problem.  We don't usually make
changes knowing they make things worse.

** Package changed: snapd (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Firefox will not start if home folder not in /home

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When a user's home directory is not in /home Firefox will not start.
  If I try to start Firefox from the command line the following message
  is output.

  Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported. 
  See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details.

  It appears this is a result of the decision to use Snap to install
  Firefox.  If so then this shouldn't have happened until the limitation
  on Snap had been removed.

  Kubuntu 22.04
  Firefox 102.0.1-1
