I'm closing this bug again, not because it's not a valid issue, but
because it's being tracked and addressed elsewhere. See details on the
ongoing work (which spans multiple teams and projects) at

part-1 and https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/known-issues-with-firefox-

Title:
[snap] Firefox starts very slow
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Since "22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)" Firefox is installed as a snap.
This causes the startup time for Firefox to roughly double. This is
particularly noticeable on computers that were already not the
fastest. In my case brainwashed ex-Chromebook Acer C720P (Intel
Celeron 2955U @ 1.40GHz, with SSD) 8sec -> 15sec.
This really is an unnecessary regression as snaps bring the user no
advantage. In particular, for a typical notebook Firefox might
arguably be the most used package and forcing users to a snapped
version of Firefox without fallback leaves an overall perception of
Ubuntu Jellyfish being slow.
