I migrated from my Stretch install to Flatpak then back to Stretch Backports for faster updates. The migration itself was very easy. I just copied my config directory over and it worked. There were a couple hiccups in the Flatpak so I went to Stretch Backports which had caught up in version. I intend to stay with Backports.
I tried the Firefox Snap and found the desktop integration to be worse than in Flatpak. Everything is in the ~/snap directory including configs and the filesystem integration sucks. It may be better in a more recent Snap version. Long story short, if you can live with the version in your distro's package manager I would stay there. Hopefully it isn't giving you dependency problems. The only benefit may be faster updates. Good luck!
