Oli's observation led me to discover this page:

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04

that lists, among the many evils of snap

"some third party integrations are (currently) broken"

which made me remember another thing I had noted, and was planning to
signal here at the first occasion: in Ubuntu 22.04, links in terminal
windows (for example, when reading email with mutt, or doing "less
webpage.html" ARE still recognized by the terminal (they are
underlined, and given the "open link" and "copy address" options in
the root menu). BUT, unlike previous versions of Ubuntu, if you select
"open link" that link is NOT open by firefox.

So is this, indeed, another another example of snap brokenness?
