Off-topic: I'm currently experiencing freezes in Firefox when editing 
Wordpress posts, which is *very* annoying with unsaved changes, so I 
will try going non-snap to see if the virtualization screws up the 
window manager integration somehow. Security wise I also wonder if the 
extra layer of security is really necessary. Firefox gets very frequent 
security updates already.
