After upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS firefox is a snap installed component now which
finally forced me to use the bind mount workround

i had to add entries to /etc/fstab such as:

```bash
# bind mount home/user to allow snap to work
/mnt/disk/home/user /home/user none bind
```

for bind mounting specific users

or
```
# bind mount home to allow snap to work
/mnt/disk/home /home none bind
```

it's interesting that there has not been such an example fstab configuration yet in this discussion yet and participants seem to assume that people know how to do bind mounts

Questions such as https://askubuntu.com/questions/1207472/how-do-you-actually-run-a-snap-package-when-your-home-directory-isnt-under-h

show that this is still a severe bug and should be fixed in a way that makes it possible for people to configure their snap based systems without first attending a linux system administrators course.
