Bug Description
When I try to import Google Chrome data using the "Import Data", the following message appears:
Firefox couldn’t find any programs that contain bookmark, history or password data.
The problem appears to happen only on Firefox Snap. Importing just work as expected on Firefox downloaded direct from Mozilla website.
