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.

    w3m is a proper deb 😛

    Looks like only firefox, chromium-browser and thunderbird are these dummy transitional packages. There’s a fwupd-snap, but the default fwupd is a full deb.
