This is not the fault of snap though, Firefox is just fucking useless - the current instance of the browser that's already loaded everything it has into ram since it will happily suck up a gig while doing nothing should not break because the on disk version has changed.
But no, instead of continuing it will do one of several things:
- show a blank page after entering URL or search term (no feedback, it just does nothing)
- fail to refresh the tab
- crash entirely
- helpfully suggest you restart Firefox in one of those tabs that stopped working earlier.
It is embarrassingly bad, just like the overall UX for Mozilla products is unfortunately, but alas the only other choice is brave and its even worse somehow. (Chrome proper would also be fine but Firefox is the only multi platform* browser that supports custom sync etc)
* Firefox is horrific on android too - broken rendering, blank pages until you engage the address bar and hit go again, etc, add-ons basically unavailable...
