[Bug 1999308] Re: Snap keeps uninstalling apt Firefox, and reinstalling snap Firefox

[herrsaalfeld]

I understand how deb package management is working, however,
1:1snap1-0ubuntu3 is not a firefox version, the firefox transitional deb
package versioning schema is abusing an incompatible version number to
override the firefox version regardless what it is.  This is a hack to
deliberately break what deb package management is doing, not to
guarantee that the most recent version of the software is installed but
to guarantee that a specific version of the software is pinned, without
pinning it.  Not cool but a bug.
