Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.

What use to be the PPA that allowed Ubuntu users to use native .deb packages for Firefox has recently changed to the same meta package that forces installation of Snap and the Firefox snap package.

I am having to remove the meta package, then re-uninstall the snap firefox, then re-uninstall Snap, then install pin the latest build I could get (firefox_116.0.3+build2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1_arm64.deb) to keep the native firefox build.

I'm so done with Ubuntu.

  • You may need to move away from Ubuntu to an Ubuntu-based distro. Pop!_OS still packages firefox as a deb
