I've semi-replicated this, but it seems extremely variable and I haven't managed to come up with a working theory as to why. To be clear, the pattern of behaviour (from the perspective of the user) is:

* After initial setup, the login screen appears
* Users logs in
* Desktop appears with Firefox icon at the top of the launcher
* Shortly after this, the Firefox icon disappears (presumably as the snap refreshes?)
* ... long/short delay depending on ... something?
* Firefox icon re-appears

The delay doesn't seem to depend on RAM size: I didn't notice more than 4 minutes delay on a Pi4 2GB I tested the desktop image upon, whilst on a Pi4 8GB it took nearly 5 minutes. The longest delay I've seen subsequently was again on a Pi 400 (though I suspect at this point that was coincidence): ~6.5 minutes after login. It seems to generate a good number of OOPS reports while it's working too (for various things from firefox to core20, to snap-store):
