With myself and Mozilla QA having done some more testing for this and verifying it working as expected, I landed the change[1] for Firefox snap stable as well, and this should now be resolved starting with Firefox snap stable 129.0 and later.
I'll adjust the bug status for firefox as 'Fix Released' accordingly, but will leave the bug status for snapd as 'Confirmed' because the underlying issue with snapd still remains, even though it will no longer manifest with the newer versions of the firefox snap.
