I ran into that yesterday trying to upload the Fedora kernel test results. 
It tried to spin up Firefox for me to log in but threw a message of 'no 
can do. can't run Firefox as root.'  I'm not sure why. FF is a snap on 
Ubuntu but it is not a flatpak on Fedora.

The instructions for setting up the test with the immutable versions of 
Fedora convinced me I'm not going that route any time soon.
