This is continuing to happen, but I've figured out what's causing
it -- snap channels. Firefox is still updating multiple times a day:

% snap changes
ID    Status  Spawn                   Ready                   Summary

1101  Done    today at 19:45 EDT      today at 19:45 EDT      Auto-refresh snap "firefox"

But when I run snap info, it looks like the updates are mainly
happening to the latest/edge channel:

% snap info firefox

I'm running the latest/stable channel, so that's why I'm not seeing
anything change.
