@nathan : that link goes directly to the "recomended" steps, which
includes writing `/etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla` which my understanding
would mean apt would never replace `firefox` package from Ubuntu over
the top of Mozilla's.

Am I wrong in that assumption ?

If I'm right, I've expressed my intent to use Mozilla's version. So the
upgrade shouldn't go against that and install a `firefox` package that
transitions to the Snap'd version.

Right ?

Title:
  upgrade from 24.04 LTS to 24.10 reinstalled snap version of FireFox

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Under 24.04 LTS I'd installed FireFox via
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux# and
  removed the Snap version

  I ran the standard upgrade steps from
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OracularUpgrades/Kubuntu

  At the end of install, before reboot, "snap list" shows the firefox
  Snap is now back, and there is a "firefox" package installed.

  The /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla file is still there.

  I suspect this is because 3rd party packages are disabled during
  upgrade, so the 24.10 firefox package was newer ?

  This still shouldn't cause a snap reinstall. It should result in
  FireFox being removed.
