Description

When attempting to run the command "pnpm run dev" in the project, users are encountering an error specifically related to the Snap version of Firefox. The issue arises when Firefox attempts to load the user profile, resulting in a failure to start the development server properly.

It has been found that the Snap version of Firefox is unable to load the user profile for reasons yet to be determined. This issue is causing inconvenience and disruption to our development workflow, as it prevents the seamless execution of our project.

Thanks for pointing that out!
Currently because of some permission issues, web-ext doesn't support opening Firefox installed via snap, (possibly also flatpak too)

Related to mozilla/web-ext#1696

Currently all we can do is give the dev information about this in https://github.com/rootCircle/docFiller/blob/dev/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md and recommend them to either switch to the native install provided by their package managers like apt, dnf etc.
