They should be, there is code in the snap's launcher to import existing 
profiles.
If you are willing to test again to help us understand the problem, could you 
please re-install the snap, and run it under one of those non-sudo users from a 
terminal (snap run firefox), and share the output here? That would be very 
helpful, thanks!

Title:
  Partial profile loss on upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10 I noticed it had updated firefox.
  When restarting some of my profile was kept (themes, addons, etc) but
  I've noticed my primary window of 50+ tabs was lost. It opened 3 other
  windows correctly.

  I tried to find it via "recently closed tabs/windows" but it's not
  showing up. I have also confirmed there are no duplicate profiles.

  Silly me assumed it was done correctly and when the upgrade process
  offered to remove old packages I did so I can't seem to retrieve the
  old profile.
