Following up on this: I'm able to confirm that the extension I maintain
works correctly on the "beta" channel of the Firefox snap.

However, to get it working, I had to run a manual `flatpak` command on
the terminal:

```
flatpak permission-set webextensions ff2mpv snap.firefox yes
```

Is this documented somewhere? I had to dig through others' bug reports
to figure out that this is what I needed, and I can imagine that a lot
of other native extension users (and developers) are in a similar
position.
