Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Firefox is provided by a snap published by Mozilla, and they may not be aware of this issue. Please contact them via https://support.mozilla.org/kb/file-bug-report-or-feature-request- mozilla and link the bug report here so it can be further tracked.
Bugs are not about filing complaints but about helping others with similar problems. To maintain a respectful atmosphere, please follow the code of conduct - http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct. Bug reports are handled by humans, the majority of whom are volunteers, so please bear this in mind. Furthermore, Canonical did not choose to distribute Firefox as a snap, it was Mozilla's decision as part of their distribution agreement with Canonical. Mozilla gets to tell distributions how they want their software distributed as part of their license.

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.
