Firefox auto-updates with the snap version, whereas it doesn’t with most package manager versions. So if it updates while you’re using it, it won’t let you open new tabs without restarting it (Firefox, not the machine), which can interrupt your workflow. On other distros, that only happens when installing updates manually, which isn’t an issue because you’re aware of it.
This is second hand info though since I don’t use Ubuntu, so YMMV.

Eh, on Linux, it’s probably in your package manager, and likely already installed. Just be careful with Ubuntu since they use snaps.
Nonsense like this is why I no longer use Ubuntu (or anything else downstream of Canonical, or anything with Snaps).
Be careful?

A really good chrome clone using Firefox. It’s my go-to browser.
Only issue is that it’s a little slower to update than Firefox direct.
