Also affecting latest 18.04.1 LTS, where Firefox is not installed OR when removed. No option to re-install non-snap version of Firefox.
Additional details: - only snap version of Firefox is available searching in Ubuntu Software. - non-snap version of Firefox not searchable once removed (i.e. can't reinstall via Ubuntu Software). Appreciate it if we could know if this is currently being addressed.

Essentially, using a freshly installed Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, Thunderbird is not available in GNOME Software (the default software app for this flavour). You cannot find it via search or the packages browser. The only way to install it is via apt-get and even then it doesn't show in Software (see attached picture).
