Public bug reported:

In impish firefox was changed from being a standard .deb based
application to being installed via snap.

In the snap version of firefox, the GNOME Shell integration extension
could no longer connect to the host connector.

When browsing to https://extensions.gnome.org and installing the
extension to firefox, the following error message is displayed in a red
box on the page:

---8<---
Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is 
not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector.
--->8---

The same happens in chromium btw..

I installed the old version of firefox with apt and there the error message is 
not shown.
Most of my extensions don't work or could not be enabled, but that's another 
story and I'm going to file another bug for this.
