Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0

Steps to reproduce:

Use ubuntu 22.04 - 23.04
kinit <username> to obtain and cache kerberos ticket-granting ticket
run snap version of firefox 112.0.2-1
go to about:config
set network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and type in the domain i want to have kerberos ticket passing enabled

Actual results:

kerberos ticket not passed
no authentication made on web servers from the trusted domain

Expected results:

Proper authentication against web pages within trusted domain.

The authentication with kerberos passing works perfectly fine in every deb version of firefox i used so far.
No snap version of firefox should be enforced with ubuntu until the problem is resolved.
Workaround is to configure mozilla ppa with higher priority than official package, but the problem is ubuntu keeps reinstalling the broken snap version every few days.
Then i have to do:
sudo apt remove -y firefox && sudo apt install -y firefox
to restore the properly working deb version of firefox from mozilla ppa to be able to authenticate to desired addresses, what is critical for my job.
The latest snap version at 2023.05.06 is 112.0.2-1, but the problem was since first snap version was enforced with ubuntu.
