Correct! Removing Snap Firefox and installing Flatpak Firefox was the first thing I did on my 22.04 install.

Wait.. Why a flatpack? Isn't that just as bad?

No, it really isn't. There are a lot of issues with both snap and flatpak, but the issue at hand is performance, specifically boot times. Snap is far, far behind every other solution out there
