Description

[QiQi]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download and install https://snapcraft.io/firefox
   sudo snap install firefox --edge
2. E.g. Change a translation for a random string
   https://pontoon.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/
3. Wait for a new daily build release (snap)
4. Update firefox to the new build
   sudo snap refresh firefox

Actual results:

You'll still see old / outdated translation(s)

Expected results:

You should see new translation(s)
No such problem with https://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/all/#product-desktop-nightly

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox Build System::General' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is probably to be expected, langpacks for nightly aren't really a thing, and iirc snap localization relies on them.

I like to add one more step to the "steps to reproduce"
5. Same time, if you install a clean new instance of same build; you'll see new changes. snap support to install multiple instances (same app, same build)
`sudo snap install firefox_new --edge"

@[:jcristau] i think this is not a problem with snap, nightly or langpacks. i said it as an example to reproduce easily
