this is a major showstopper at our institute. we have 60+ ubuntu
desktops with nfs-mounted homes and were postponing the switch from the
last lts to this one for a while. but this cannot go on forever while
availability of firefox is, obviously, crucial. i would classify this
bug as "critical" and "urgent".

Title:
firefox snap does not work with home directories outside of /home
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Firefox version information below. I don't think replacing the deb
version with the snap was a good idea. If your home directory is
outside of /home (quite common for central home directories on a file
server mounted via NFS or some other way for example) you cannot use
Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 anymore.
$ firefox
Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported.
See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details.
This is a long standing issue and should have been addressed before
replacing the deb with the snap version imho.
