- you cannot use snap packaged with a home directory outside /home: use ppa:mozillateam/ppa for Firefox and Google Chrome instead of Chromium

Correction: This does not seem to be true anymore.

snap set system homedirs=/afs/math.uni-hamburg.de/users

works for Ubuntu 22.04.

The Firefox snap does start with this setting. We have very limited experience with this setting. Kerberos authentication does not work in Firefox snap, which is a known problem (independent of AFS).

What credential cache type is in use?

The underlying issues are the same as for PAGs.  The assumption is that a 'uid' represents all of the authorization credentials associated with the user.   If the Kerberos credential cache is using a session keyring or something that is not global to the 'uid', then there will be no Kerberos TGT available to snap.

Maybe I was not clear enough. Accessing the home directories from Firefox is not the issue. Kerberized http is the issue:

You were clear.   I am suggesting that you use a Kerberos credential cache that is tied to the uid for example a keyring with user scope instead of session scope.
