Sorry I did not update this. I could completely resolve this issue by
removing firefox-snap and snapd all together.

Log spamming is gone and conflicts with apparmor itself as well.
Starting firefox is also dramatically faster as well as the boot time of
the linux system itself.

Title:
  Snap-based Firefox spams apparmor messages in journal

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The current awfully-slow firefox package which is provided via snap
  has an excessive log spamming bug: On various system interactions (not
  only in the browser but for example by using the media-next button) a
  lot of apparmor notifications are triggered:

  Jul 18 16:32:05 UML033 kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1658154725.146:718): 
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="snap.firefox.firefox" 
name="/home/[private]/.xsession-errors" pid=3300 comm="pool-firefox" 
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
  [REPEATS] 
  Jul 18 16:32:06 UML033 audit[3300]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" 
profile="snap.firefox.firefox" name="/home/[private]/.xsession-errors" pid=3300 
comm="pool-firefox" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
  [REPEATS]

  This is particular annoying for all users who are actively using
  apparmor in combination with aa-notify: It floods the whole desktop.
  There is also no obvious way to access the apparmor configuration file
  of the snapped firefox. There are also other reports on the internet
  that the apparmor configuration in this version of firefox fails to
  provide the targeted security.
