Ubuntu version 16.04 will include the introduction of the snap infrastructure. 
With the snap format, we will be able to continually optimize Firefox on 
Ubuntu. Like our rapid engineering release cycle, snap format will allow us to 
provide Linux users the most up-to-date features, in particular security 
patches, even after major Operating System ship dates.
```

Snap packages are a new, secure, independent way of distributing software. 
Mozilla has already committed to release snap packages according to its own 
release cycle. Remember snap packages do not conflict with distro installed 
packages (of the same name).
