When trying to run Firefox in a Gitpod workspace through VNC, it fails with an error that Firefox needs to be installed via Snap. However, installing Snap and running Snap packages in Gitpod workspaces is problematic.
It seems there are challenges getting Snap working properly in Gitpod. An alternative solution would be finding a way to install Firefox without using Snap.
