I'm affected by this problem as well: snap shows one app which should be
refreshed, but then refuses to refresh and claims there are still
processes running. Looking into the process list, not a single of the
listed PIDs is used.
ads@diamond:~$ uname -a

In the meantime, the reminder about refreshing the app pops up constantly, but
offers no options to solve the problem. I agree with @osomon that this is a
horrible user experience.

Title:
cannot refresh snap "firefox": snap "firefox" has running apps
(firefox)
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Firefox installed via 22.04 snap does not seem to update properly.
There is a log line (or error printout on manual execution), but it
does not really point me to the actual bug. I already know firefox is
running for some other user - that machine is never up and not running
firefox - but I do not see how that matters.
