Thank you for the clarifications, Tim. For what it's worth, my Ubuntu 22 non-graphical shell *does* have DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to the same value that appears in a Wayland session ("unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"). So the bug you mention being exposed does not occur for me.

It is also set correctly for an RDP (remote desktop) login to a headless Ubuntu 22 machine with xrdp installed to provide the session. The Firefox snap starts happily in that session.

A local X session started with `startx` also produces a session in which the Firefox snap will run.

The only session that breaks Firefox for me is starting Wayland using `XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session`. I have not found any other way to get a Wayland session from the command line.

It's possible this is all evidence of this bug being fixed in Ubuntu 22, and all I have is a problem with starting Wayland correctly.
