Steps to reproduce the issue:

- Go to https://matrix.to/#/#element-dev:matrix.org
- Select Element Desktop
- Click Continue

Expected:

- Element opens the room

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Firefox is provided by a snap published by Mozilla, and they may not be aware of this issue.
