The switch for snap for firefox is a real PITA because the profile is stored elsewhere. So we have people losing their profiles, people ending up with unsynchronised profiles, and a whole lot of annoyance. It looks like snapping a key component such as this hasn't really been thought through beyond the single user / single computer point of view. So the snap of firefox should be reverted back to deb (or an update option with an easy alternative fix offered) and any further conversions of packages to snaps should be consider the heterogeneous network environment (with fixes) before proceeding.
