Question 2

Not sure about the correct solution, but the following did the trick for me.

Close the Firefox browser if you have opened it.
Open the terminal and run the following commands to refresh the snap.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo snap refresh

This should stop the notification. As per the snap website, "Snaps update automatically, and by default, the snapd daemon checks for updates 4 times a day. Each update check is called a refresh." But it seems that you need a manual refresh to get rid of the notification.
