Public bug reported:
Firefox snap package crashes every time on upgrade which cause data
loss, it disappear from the panel but still running on unknown workspace
All this is very annoying to the average user and gives a negative
impression of using Ubuntu
I think Firefox snap is not ready for using in LTS release by default
without an alternative to install .deb package
Steps to reproduce:
1) Run Firefox snap
2) Upgrade from candidate channel: sudo snap refresh firefox --candidate
3) Try to open a new tab or click on Firefox icon on panel
Current behaviour:
Firefox crashes or closes
Expected behaviour:
Firefox should notify user that restart is required, as in .deb case
