firefox just circles jig 2022-03-09

Current evaluation
User report (Mar 2022) that the Mozilla-maintained firefox snap hangs/spins on Ubuntu 21.10 on a Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB), plus a general anti-snap rant; logs hosted externally, no maintainer response
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The report concerns the `firefox` snap, which is built and published by Mozilla, not by the snapcraft project — the repository contains no firefox packaging code, only doc mentions of it in publishing how-tos, so this is out of scope here. The body is a support/diagnostics dump ('snap saved'/'snap get firefox'/'snap export-snapshot 1 ...' transcript) with the actual logs attached only via the reporter's external web server (http://162.250.19.7/), and the substantive complaint is snap size/performance versus the apt package on a memory-constrained Raspberry Pi. Zero comments, zero labels, and no maintainer triage after ~4.5 years indicate it was never actionable within snapcraft; it would need to go to Mozilla/firefox tracking.
