There's one additional problem: registering /snap/bin/firefox as an alternative appears to work (at least from update-alternatives' standpoint), but invoking e.g. gnome-www-browser doesn't, because /snap/bin/firefox is a symlink to /usr/bin/snap, and so the snap command is run with whatever parameters/URIs were passed to gnome-www-browser.
