Description

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77156598/run-owasp-zap-zaproxy-on-ubuntu

We can tell if ZAP is installed as a snap, and we should be able to check if chrome and firefox are as well.
Automatically configuring ZAP to handle this case would be very useful and helpful for our users.

Research direction

No file or test is named; begin with the existing ZAP installation detection and browser-configuration entry points, using the linked Stack Overflow report for snap behavior. Done means snap-installed ZAP, Chrome, and Firefox are detected and ZAP is configured automatically for that setup.
