Yep, this prompted me to uninstall the snap version of Firefox that was installed by default in Ubuntu 22.04 and reinstall it from the Standard Ubuntu repository. Score minus one for snap.

There is no package for Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04. The package called firefox does not contain a browser, its just transitional for upgrading older versions to snap.

I started to download Firefox from Mozilla. But just because I have not decided yet what distro to use for family computers. Archlinux is fine for me, but not suitable for everyone.

Debian is boring, easy, and stable.

You can also just download the tar ball from Mozilla and run that. It takes care of keeping itself up to date. I do that on Manjaro because I want my updates straight from the source. I'm on the beta channel, so my browser updates frequently and it simply indicates when there is an update and then I can choose when to restart the browser. Works on Ubuntu as well.

Pop OS is similar to Ubuntu and doesn't use snap.

Linux Mint would be an easy transitions as it is based on Ubuntu packages but removes the bad part of Ubuntu. No snap there.
