I'm trying to remove the Firefox snap from my system. snap remove fails with the following error:

➜  ~ sudo snap remove firefox
2024-10-17T21:19:24-04:00 ERROR cannot remove snap file "firefox", will retry in 3 mins: systemctl command [stop
snap-firefox-4848.mount] failed with exit status 1: stderr:
Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.
2024-10-17T21:22:24-04:00 ERROR cannot remove snap file "firefox", will retry in 3 mins: umount: /snap/firefox/4848: not mounted.

systemctl stop returns:

Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.

journalctl -xe after trying to stop the snap returns:
