Bug Description
Most noticeable to me with Firefox.
1. Browse normally, note how orange dot next to Firefox
2. Mozilla releases new Firefox beta release and snap is updated.
3. Keep browsing normally - except now orange dot next to Firefox is gone - and the implications:
You can no longer switch back to the browsing session you are on by clicking on the launcher.
It will just another window in the session.
You can also reproduce this just be doing a revert or refresh to another version.
Was not able to reproduce with Chromium. If this is a Firefox specific issue, is there a better place to report (additional issues on occasion where it recommends you to manually download the tar.gz as the snap didn't get updated for whatever reason)

This is a real problem, one potential workaround is simply not auto-updating in snapd when firefox is running.
