[Alpine-info] Firefox, snap and /tmp

[Kjell Rönnmark via Alpine-info]

Are you suggesting that alpine should be removed from ubuntu? Is the risk 
that some other distributions will adopt snap negligible? The script I 
wrote solves my problem, but others may abandon alpine rather than ubuntu.

I realize that alpine has very limited resources for development. That's 
why I raised the question, hoping that someone  would have a slightly more 
ambitious but still manageable idea.
