Sam, that is the reason why we're doing this in a normal, non-LTS
release, which gives us time to identify and iron out problems and
regressions like this, while exposing the change to real-world testing.
The firefox deb package will remain supported for the duration of the
21.10 release, so this is not locking users or extensions out.

Jonathan, native messaging support in strictly-confined browser snaps is
being discussed here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/native-messaging-
support-in-strictly-confined-browser-snaps/26849. Constructive feedback
and use cases, as well as suggestions, are welcome. Me-too -like
comments and rants are not. Thanks!

Bug description:
  Per Canonical's distribution agreement with Mozilla, we're making the
  snap¹ the default installation of firefox on desktop ISOs starting
  with Ubuntu 21.10.

  The snap is built and published for amd64, armhf and arm64. It is
  jointly maintained by Mozilla and the Ubuntu desktop team, and
  published by Mozilla.

  This requires updating the desktop-minimal seed, as well as ubuntu-
  release-upgrader.
