+1 to this until (at minimum) the below issues are resolved:

Seeing these issues open for so long is worrying to me, considering a growing number of critical packages such as Firefox are now distributed as snaps which have crippled usability. Ubuntu has *a lot* going for it, but after 10 years of loyalty, snaps may be the one thing that drive me away..
Unless proper controls are implemented prior to porting applications such as Firefox, snap is heading down the wrong path. I do applaud the snap developers for what they have achieved, and what snap is capable of (It *definitely* has it's place), but fundamental usage issues such as snapd/+bug/1643706 are absolutely crippling it.
@Alex Cabal within the +bug/1575053 summaries this perfectly:
"Now that Firefox is being delivered as only a Snap in 22.04, I'm essentially being strong-armed into using snaps, because Firefox is probably the most critical piece of software on my system and I cannot work without it."
I hope canonical take note, as I believe the community is becoming uneasy, as I now am. At a minimum, allow system critical packages/apps to ship as non snap until proper controls are implemented.
