Sam, I know this doesn't address your main grief (it is actively being worked on and tracked in a separate place), but for support purposes, the "Help > About Firefox" dialog will show you whether the application is packaged as a snap. Alternatively opening "about:support" will also reveal this information. That's probably a bit easier than asking users to run commands in a terminal.
