This fixes the issue for me:

$ cat /etc/xdg/autostart/firefox-snap-launch-xwayland.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Launch Xwayland on startup of wayland session
Comment=This allows to start the Firefox snap from the dock without a black window
Type=Application
Exec=sh -c 'if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ]; then xrefresh; fi'
TryExec=xrefresh
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
NoDisplay=true

How about letting some package install that, or maybe make use of the xrefresh command in some other way.
