That's a known issue, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cannot-open-display-after-session-type-changed-wayland-x11/23838. The problem appears to be partly in gnome-session (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/75), partly in the snapcraft desktop extensions that assume a wayland session if there's a lingering wayland socket (https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/main/extensions/desktop/common/desktop-exports#L240).

It is not specific to the firefox snap, and it can be worked around by running the apps with DISABLE_WAYLAND=1.
