How to safely update Firefox without messing up Ubuntu 16.04 ?
This system is EoL since 2021. Upgrade to a current version or another
OS.
If you don't like snap, switch to Debian, Mint, Slackware, etc.
I'm looking into 22.04 LTS now.

You've downloaded 6GB worth of Snaps, and some
ordinary utilities are missing. Give me a break.
The Snaps have turned into a vanity project.
The dude running the show, thinks he can craft
handcuffs with this stuff. Forget it.
The only problem with going too far forward on Mint,
is the impact of the newer kernel. Maybe an older
graphics device does not work. The 5.15 kernel was pretty
good in that regard. It may require testing
a couple Mints, to see which one is comfortable

Without using windows, I would think the Ubuntu 16.04 already
on the computer, should provide the materials (via gparted)
to make some changes. I would verify this works, but my collection
of USB sticks is pretty worn, and I don't know if the current one
would survive this. I would simulate in VirtualBox, except
VirtualBox refuses to boot from virtual USB images.
It's really better to install test OSes on some old hard drive
you've got. My local computer store has the 128GB version of
this for $20. I have about four of the 256GB ones of those,
and I am putting scratch OSes on them for test. And the 256 cost
about $40 each. When you work out the TBW of those, they're
about as expensive as a Samsung, but the thing is, you can
"buy a smaller quantity of storage" that way. Samsung is unlikely
to offer a 128GB drive today. And 128GB is plenty of room for
a Mint install.

Just go with Mint 21.3 (Virginia) on HDD then. Size of my /home (not /

Ubuntu 16.04 keeps silently truncating long filenames and silently
removing special characters (like colon). I often save .PNG, .MOV &

that the filename is as intended.

Ubuntu 16.04 keeps silently truncating long filenames and silently removing special characters (like colon).
"The max filename length is 255 bytes. Found in the wiki page for ext4.
And a maximum path of 4096 characters."
The most likely type to challenge this is .mp3 files with tags inserted in the filename.
And web browsers are the most "bomb-worthy" devices, as they can store
things in a file system which are not compatible with it. If I store
a link from the Hungarian Embassy on my computer, there are tools that malfunction when they hit the unicode involved. There are even unicode entries that Thunderbird cannot display, and the characters are not
even replaced by square boxes.

Another picture of a USB boot stick with a persistent partition
(rather than a persistence file, like the old days). what is weird
about this one, is it is GPT but without an ESP for UEFI. As
I would expect, the label is "casper-rw". And the important thing
in this example, is gnome-disks lists the thing as Linux Persistence
implying somehow that at the GPT level it is identified that way.
I have been unable to reproduce the persistence string on this.
Mine works, but it won't display exactly like this one.
https://i.sstatic.net/30YL8.png # writable or casper-rw as the label
I made a Linux Mint 21.3 stick, set up the persistent partition manually
and it seems to be working. The casper-rw partition has an upper and
a work folder, and the upper folder had the testfile.txt that I put
in my home, while the USB stick was booted.
$ inxi -F # 21.3 on USB stick, casper-rw labeled EXT4 partition on the stick too
