When the deb package updates, firefox displays an alert asking for a restart to avoid issues. It would be nice if the snap version does something similar when it or any of its dependencies are updated (in addition to or as a fallback for the r-a-a changes).
Right now a running firefox snap crashes hard when there are updates to either core, core20, gnome-3-38, or firefox itself. That averages to about a crash every 1-2 weeks and results in a poor user experience. I have used the firefox snap for about a year now as I like the extra sandboxing it provides, but I would not recommend including it as the default in an upcoming LTS until the problematic updating process is fully addressed.
