If you haven't already found the solution, here it is: [https://fosspost.org/how-to-install-firefox-as-a-deb-package-on-ubuntu-22-04/](https://fosspost.org/how-to-install-firefox-as-a-deb-package-on-ubuntu-22-04/)

That article misses a key step. You also have to block ubuntu's own repo for the Firefox package. Otherwise apt will go through and somehow work with SNAP to remove the Firefox app package that you have installed. This article showed me what needed to be done. https://fostips.com/ubuntu-21-10-two-firefox-remove-snap/
