Public bug reported:
I have removed the Firefox snap and installed through the official
Mozilla apt repositories as instructed here
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-
firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions] but there are two
annoyances that I've come across so far:
1. Upon installation by `apt` I have to add the `--allow-downgrades` even
though the apt version has exactly the same version as snap one
2. Everytime a new version is released, the snap package is reinstalled and
takes over the deb package one when clicking the desktop shortcut to launch.
I guess all of these stem from the issue that Ubuntu somehow treats the Snap
variant as the newer release!
AFAIK this is special to Ubuntu 24.04 and did not notice such behavior on 22.04.
