The upgrade dialog says:

```
Upgrade to the firefox snap                                                     
                  Starting in Ubuntu 22.04, all new releases of firefox are 
only available to Ubuntu users through the snap package.
This package update will transition your system over to the snap by installing 
it. It is recommended to close all open firefox windows before proceeding to 
the upgrade.
<OK>
```

Is it possible to add a <Cancel> button there, so that people that don't
want to install snap get a chance to cancel that upgrade, so that they
uninstall firefox first, and then resume with their `apt full-upgrade`s?

Title:
  Make the deb package install the firefox snap

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Canonical and Mozilla are working together to make the firefox snap
  the only supported package in Ubuntu, thus deprecating the deb package
  in the archive.

  This bug tracks the transformation of the firefox package in the
  archive into a transitional package that installs the snap, much like
  was done for chromium-browser in Ubuntu 19.10.

  There are a number of known problems and regressions with the snap
  compared to the deb (see
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=snap and
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bugs?field.tag=snap),
  those are actively being worked on and will be addressed in due time,
  please refrain from using this bug to point them out. Instead, file
  separate bugs in the upstream bug tracker
  (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi), making sure to specify
  this is about the snap package.
