Public bug reported: Earlier I changed from the snap version to the Mozilla packaged .deb version by:
* sudo snap remove firefox * sudo apt remove firefox Adding the key and repository for mozilla packages $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources X-Repolib-Name: mozilla Types: deb URIs: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt Suites: mozilla Components: main Architectures: amd64 Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/google-artifact-registry-signing.asc and pinning with higher priority $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla Package: * Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org Pin-Priority: 1000 A recent update replaced that with the snap package regardless. $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 151.0~build2 Version table: *** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5 500 500 https://mirrors.nic.funet.fi/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 151.0~build2 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.3~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.2~build2 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.1~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages After again removing the snap and apt redirect packages $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: (none) Candidate: 151.0~build2 Version table: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5 500 500 https://mirrors.nic.funet.fi/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 151.0~build2 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.3~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.2~build2 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0.1~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages 150.0~build1 1000 1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main amd64 Packages so clearly the mozilla version should have stayed in place. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2153409 Title: Firefox snap version installed even when Mozilla Debian version is with higher priority To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/2153409/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
