After creating a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04, I installed DEB Firefox from APT by following Mozilla’s instructions from here. But I noticed that it was secretly replaced with Snap Firefox. I was able to verify this by checking the About Firefox page. This is the third time I noticed this.

    So both commands do the same thing… right? I’m not saying snap and apt are the same in general.

      Yeah for sure, I read your comment as excusing canonical screwing with user intent but I see that’s not what you meant.
