it helps to develop some level of ignorance towards these notifications
(until the UX is actually fixed indeed) ... 

it is good to keep in mind that you have 60 days once the notifications
start rolling in, so there is no reason to "obey" to them immediately
or some such, you can just do a manual snap refresh at a convenient
time within the next 60 days ...

the switch to the snap was done on mozillas request and it freed up a
full time developer in the desktop team who all of a sudden only has to
watch one snap instead of five debs on six different supported ubuntu
releases (with different libs, different compiler toolchains and
different build errors in each of them), the switch has effectively
massively improved the desktop itself because all of a sudden there is
time to look at long standing other pieces that had to be postponed in
the past due to lack of manpower.
