i am trying to uses Mozilla Firefox 131.0.3 on WSL2 with ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS & Windows Remote Desktop Connection but after trying launch from the FireFox icon, nothing happens.

however from the terminal mode, the output is shown below:

[1664] Wayland Proxy [0x7f598f454020] Error: CheckWaylandDisplay(): Failed to connect to Wayland display ‘/run/user/1000/snap.firefox/wayland-0’ error: No such file or directory

even with configuration set to wayland=false to force xorg to be the default display.
i have tried to install firefox from several sources with reboots in between;
including this site - Install firefox on Ubuntu using the Snap Store | Snapcraft
sudo snap install firefox
none of the installation attempts on ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, work.

the contents of "/run/user/1000/snap.firefox"
is this problem related to permissions ?
