I performed these steps: 1. `sudo snap refresh --edge firefox` 2. `firefox --version` returned `Mozilla Firefox 109.0a1` 3. `firefox about:profiles` and create a brand new profile 4. Verify that no extensions are installed in this new profile 5. Attempt to view `/home/pino/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OpenMPT/Release Notes.html` - "Access to the file was denied" 6. Copy the file to the desktop and view `/home/pino/Desktop/Release Notes.html` - loads as expected 7. Attempt to revert my changes (`sudo snap refresh --stable firefox`) 8. Be notified that my primary profile has been silently and irreversibly upgraded, despite my having entered `firefox about:profiles` at the terminal, and that I must create a new profile 9. Sign in to Firefox Sync and see "Enter the code that was sent to d_yerrick@pineight.com within 5 minutes." 10. Race against the clock to log in to webmail 11. Copy and paste the code 12.

I performed these steps to confirm that the edge channel Snap package shows a behavior difference between loading the same file from within `~/.wine` and a non-hidden folder. 1. `sudo snap refresh --edge firefox` 2. `firefox --version` returned `Mozilla Firefox 109.0a1` 3. `firefox about:profiles` and create a brand new profile 4.
