I have just installed fresh Ubuntu MATE 21.10 system.


Then I ran update-manager manually to check and get some new updates.


It showed a surprise for me - it will remove Firefox deb-package as shown on below screenshot to replace it with Snap:



Details of updates



  • Install or remove

    • Duplicate packages to be removed

      • Firefox Web Browser






update-manager is going to remove deb-package of Firefox



This is not acceptable for me, I want to use normal deb-package of Firefox.



Note: actually the result does not depend on online or offline installation, the first launch of update-manager will try to remove the Firefox deb-package.

Update 20220203 - the bug 1947501 is fixed since 20211103.


So all you need is to run the below commands:


sudo snap remove firefox

sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox

If you need historic information - check previous revisions of this answer. But keep in mind that running sudo apt-mark manual firefox may be still needed if you install Ubuntu 21.10 flavor using offline installation.
