Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Relevant output from DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "firefox" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_GfGqr8//dev: No such file or directory)

Does reinstalling the package succeed?

    sudo apt reinstall firefox
