   According to people at Canonical I chatted with, the reason why Firefox is   
   a snap now is that Mozilla wanted it so (it’s Mozilla employees who   
   maintain those packages in Ubuntu, not Canonical employees), and thus it   
   wasn’t a Canonical decision.   
      
   But the snap-ed Firefox is still broken with issues that have been known   
   for over a year (even longer if you also consider that the same issue   
   already existed in the Chromium package too!), so I hold both Mozilla and   
   Canonical responsible for this ungoing fiasco: Mozilla for deciding to use   
   Snap prematurely, the other for allowing them to do it (it’s their distro   
   after all).
