Public bug reported:
Since "22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)" Firefox is installed as a snap. This
causes the startup time for Firefox to roughly double. This is
particularly noticeable on computers that were already not the fastest.
In my case brainwashed ex-Chromebook Acer C720P (Intel Celeron 2955U @
1.40GHz, with SSD) 8sec -> 15sec.
This really is an unnecessary regression as snaps bring the user no
advantage. In particular, for a typical notebook Firefox might arguably
be the most used package and forcing users to a snapped version of
Firefox without fallback leaves an overall perception of Ubuntu
Jellyfish being slow.
