I'd just use the Flatpak

Then again, I don't use Ubuntu and haven't sense they rolled out snap

Yeah I tried, than ran into the same problems as snaps. Basically the sandboxing prevents extensions from communicating with some helper tools.

For example, I use KeepassXC password manager. Firefox has an extension that can connect to it to retrieve and store login information. However, if I use either Flatpak or Snap, it's blocked.
