Bug description:
  Per Canonical's distribution agreement with Mozilla, we're making the
  snap¹ the default installation of firefox on desktop ISOs starting
  with Ubuntu 21.10.

  The snap is built and published for amd64, armhf and arm64. It is
  jointly maintained by Mozilla and the Ubuntu desktop team, and
  published by Mozilla.

  This requires updating the desktop-minimal seed, as well as ubuntu-
  release-upgrader.
