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.

    Thats… odd. The installer packages aren’t really that different. When was this?

      My guess is: prior to Bookworm, when they started including non-free firmware on installation media by default.
