A lone and somewhat anonymous user speaking on behalf of an anonymous
company is unlikely to change current Ubuntu/Canonical policy regarding
the use of the Firefox snap in the more recent releases of Ubuntu and
its various flavours.

Apparently this change was requested sometime ago by the Firefox developers:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/09/ubuntu-makes-firefox-snap-default
https://www.linux.org/threads/ubuntu-to-make-firefox-snap-default-in-21-10.36749/

However, the change or reverting to previous defaults isn't really a bug
and requires more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate
mailing list.

http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good
start for determining which mailing list to use.

Title:
  Please revert to .deb install for firefox

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Snap is a pain to maintain for sysadmins and are unreliable for
  companies because they cause addons breakages.

  Please revert to distributing firefox through .deb.

  In our company, we are forced to use mozilla's ppa to deploy firefox
  because of all that.
