(Get the code!)
I have been a loyal user of Xubuntu for quite many years, and intend to remain one for many years to come. Ubuntu decides to use snap for Firefox, fine. But I agree with an earlier poster that its current state qualifies for the adjective "broken". I, the user, not the Firefox packager, should be the one to decide whether or not Firefox should be allowed to read my hidden files and directories. That there is no easy way (or any way at all?) to fix that is just not reasonable.
I have just downloaded the Linux Firefox binary from Mozilla, in order to be able to use Firefox like I always have done. This is sad. I should really not have to do that for such a cornerstone of my OS-installation.
