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.

      Debian’s packages are more up to date than those in Mint and PopOS. Why people always complain about Debian being out of date, but never complain about that with other distros is beyond me. I guess people just repeat what they hear or read without ever thinking for themselves. Some might call them sheeple, me I just become ever so slightly more disgruntled.
