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.

    Yup. They also did this with Docker, and it broke my setup (and was a bitch to debug).

    This was a couple of years ago, and I haven’t used Ubuntu unless absolutely necessary (and then usually in a container).
