Uninstalling Firefox until the Snap Debacle is over

Pretty much the title. Snap version of Firefox on (K)Ubuntu 25.10 won't detect my GPU. It seems to be fixed on nightly (and has been for months and months now), but remains broken on "stable." Makes the browser unusable, basic stuff like YouTube won't even work. Mozilla should have pushed back against Canonical forcing Snap, and now you're losing users and market share over it. You should have forced them to leave it available for apt instead of backhauling people unwillingly through Snap. It's confusing, deceptive, and a terrible user experience.

Get a backbone, tell Canonical Snap is garbage with your browser. I won't run a browser I can't keep up to date easily with apt, so I'm done. This is the last thing I'm doing on Firefox until you find a better path forward.

Did you have this issue on 24.04? (or whatever your previous version was)
