The most notable change you’ll notice in Ubuntu 22.04+ is that the Firefox browser is no longer installed on the system as a traditional DEB package. Instead, it is now being installed as a Snap package.
From developers point of view, this eases the update process and ensures that all Ubuntu users are using the latest Firefox version for their security. But on the ground, users can sometimes observe issues or performance bugs in the Snap version.
Overall, it is too much of a headache for the user and for what? Just for turning it into a Snap for continuous updates? Sounds excessive.
In this very quick tutorial, you’ll see how you can turn Firefox from a Snap package to a DEB package in Ubuntu 22.04, 22.10 and 23.10, so that whatever issues you face from the Snap packaging are fixed and you enjoy using Firefox in the normal way.
The Firefox version we will install on Ubuntu is the one officially packaged by Mozilla. So this is an authentic and recommended method to follow.
