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

of the transitional package?

That's not a supported scenario. The Ubuntu team maintains firefox as a
snap and the deb has been set up for things to work in the scenario we
defined. There isn't really a way we could handle it differently, there
is no deb version of firefox supported by Ubuntu we could install if the
snap is disabled (the one is the ppa is a best effort from community, it
could break or stop being updated, we can't rely on it). If you care
enough to go through those manual steps you just have to also do the apt
pinning config (or maintain a firefox deb version using an epoch so it's
newer than the Ubuntu archive in the apt sense)
