I think this may be fixed in 26.04, at least for firefox! I installed 26.04, set up NFS with kerberos, logged in with an NFS home directory, and started firefox. Nothing happened for about ten seconds, and then (to my surprise and delight) a firefox window opened with my profile correctly. Subsequent starts were in under a second. So I think this has finally been fixed. This saves a lot of work disabling snaps and installing firefox from other places.
Thank you whoever fixed this. Your work is much appreciated. I haven't checked lxd, which also had similar problems with some things being done as root but reading the user's home directory.
