[oi-dev] firefox update

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Yes, I now think too that's a hassle with those pesky "snap" versions,
those very annoyingly seem to get easily confused on updates and keep
outdated versions of the profile directory and caches in several unusual
places. Time to get rid of "snap", it breaks numerous stuff and fixes
nothing.

Got that one working again by deleting all the snap profiles and
settings, copying from a working 133 profile into a new one, but some
recent bookmarks and passwords were lost (I should backup more
frequently...).
