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.

    I see where you’re headed… but having automatic updates, when I’m using a specific PPA to keep me off of a particular snap, only to have that PPA then also shove me over without asking right back to the thing the PPA was designed to help me avoid… Not ok. Just close the PPA, don’t make it a trojan horse to install what I didn’t want anyway. That is hostile and makes me very judgemental and a stick in the mud.

      I don’t care about that sorry, just commenting on you being a hostile to others about what they choose to do for no reason. Maybe don’t do that.

        Yeah, not caring about your incorrect assumption. As for hostile, try this on… Go stuff it, get lost, you’re uninvited.
