[Bug 1965113] Re: Firefox 98.0.1-2 snap doesn't start at all in Xorg sessions if a Wayland session has been used

[Olivier Tilloy]

That's a known issue, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cannot-open-
display-after-session-type-changed-wayland-x11/23838. The problem
appears to be partly in gnome-session
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/75), partly in
the snapcraft desktop extensions that assume a wayland session if
there's a lingering wayland socket
(https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/main/extensions/desktop/common/desktop-
exports#L240).

It is not specific to the firefox snap, and it can be worked around by
running the apps with DISABLE_WAYLAND=1.
