Please stop promoting snap. I and a lot of people are not going to use
it. Snap is not unix-wayish, it is Windows-bloated-wayish. A big step
back and complete garbage. The same way flatpak and appimage and docker-
container-as-a-unit-of-software are.

I have almost created a script that patches the binary installation in
order to workaround Mozilla's sabotage (I have never tested that the
method works though, but I guess it should). When finished, I gonna
create a binary package with triggers to patch firefox on installation.

The only missing ingridient is the python library for editing zip
archive in place (because I don't want to unpack and repack the whole
archive just to patch 1 small JS file). Since it is a complex task, I
just followed the way of creating a ctypes-based bindings for a C
library for manipulating zip archives.

It is here https://github.com/KOLANICH-libs/libzip.py in an unfinished
unworking state (well, ctypes part works, but we need to wrap it
properly in an interface similar to ZipArchive to be a kinda drop-in
replacement, or maybe even promote it into the stdlib). I currently have
no time to work on it. Help is welcome.
