This UX problem is being discussed in many places. There is some
interesting information in e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1412140.
snapd is not clever enough (yet) to automatically refresh the app when
it is closed. So you will need to do the following when you get such a
message, at your earliest convenience:
1) Close all windows of firefox
2) Run `sudo snap refresh firefox`

Title:
Firefox snap update doesn't work and popup is very annoying
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Each time snap thinks that firefox should be updated (-> so this
happens quite often) a popup message appears and stays above all other
windows all the time to remind me to close firefox. It also gives me a
couple of days that are granted to me to do that.
I can close this popup - but after a shot time it comes up again.
This popup is very annoying and distracts me from the work that I'm
just doing.
Every day in the evening I shut down my computer completely, so firefox is
also closed. In the morning I start it up and firefox gets automatically
started again (as intended by me).
But it seems that snap is not capable to handle a shutdown and restart to do
its work. It just prefers to annoy me in multiple ways instead: it takes away
my authority over my system and my decision when I'm prepared to do an update
or not. It doesn't give me a choice to skip a specific version when I don't
want to use it. It tries to put me under pressure to do the update like a bad
sales agent (only ... days left).
All of this was perfectly solved when firefox was a normal APT package.
The system I'm running is Kubuntu, based on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Firefox is 104.0.1 - but it happend already with older versions of it as well
