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.

    For proprietary, non-free software I’d much prefer them to be sandboxed in Flatpak, thank you very much. So yeah, let Flatpak integrate payments!

    For open source keystone applications, like my browser or my text editor, please let me have an unsandboxed native package.
