That makes some sense from the "human's motivation" point of view.
>From Apt's point of view, though, you have two repositories, one is
archive.ubuntu.com {U}, and the other is packages.mozilla.org {M}.
You added {M} as a *preference* to *preferences.d*. If that package happens to
not exist in {M}, it makes perfect sense to then try in {U}.
The computer always does what we told it to do, which is many times different
from what we wanted it to do. (:
Maybe try https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/692634 if you want to forbid a
package from a specific repository to ever be installed.
I need to leave this bug report as 'incomplete' until #4 is addressed.

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.
