Yes, Kubuntu 24.04 still comes with snaps - thunderbird, firefox and 
probably more. So first thing I do is to remove all snap-related stuff 
completely. There is a good guide here:

The important thing is to prevent apt from re-installing i.e. 
firefox-snap etc., so read carefully to the end.

Then: "sudo apt install flatpak"

After removing snap you can use flatpak or appimage to get whatever you 
want . Good guide here:

HTH,
