Title:
  firefox fails to use the default profile from classic snaps

Status in snapd:

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I've recently made a clean install of Ubuntu 19.10 (development release) and 
have noticed that whenever I try to open a link from one of the snap apps 
(being it Slack or Skype) the links although opened in the default browser are 
being opened in a separate session of the web browser.

  I am using Firefox and it is installed as a regular deb package
  (default).

  This is wrong and causes issues with history, sessions and settings
  not being shared between these windows. Now I have the default browser
  I use + a separate session for Slack and another one for Skype. Not to
  mention Firefox also acts just like another Slack/Skype window so dash
  displays these as two instances of the same app.

  To reproduce:
  * Install Ubuntu 19.10 (not sure if upgrade from 19.04 would lead to the same 
behaviour).
  * Confirm FFox is installed as a regular deb package.
  * Install I suppose almost any snap app, although I've only reproduced this 
with Slack and Skype and haven't tried to install other apps.

  System monitor also seems to be installed but when trying to open links from 
the about window - translators - individual names, it seems to do nothing.
  On the other hand Gnome calculator which is also installed as a snap package 
opens the link in the about dialog correctly = in my default browser session.

  ```
  :~# which gnome-calculator 
  /snap/bin/gnome-calculator
  ```

  Thank you very much for looking into that.
