What use to be the PPA that allowed Ubuntu users to use native .deb packages for Firefox has recently changed to the same meta package that forces installation of Snap and the Firefox snap package.

I am having to remove the meta package, then re-uninstall the snap firefox, then re-uninstall Snap, then install pin the latest build I could get (firefox_116.0.3+build2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1_arm64.deb) to keep the native firefox build.

I’m so done with Ubuntu.

    I’ve been having no issues with the Firefox snap on Ubuntu 22.04lts since I upgraded last month.

      Then you have a use case that doesn’t hit the limits of it’s implementation. I am both glad for you, in that it hasn’t bit you, and sad for you, in that you have let yourself be sucked into the proprietary ubuntu app store, known as snap.

        Why would I? I don’t need containers for anything.
