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

[Renn]

I just registered so I can reply to this report because I am incredibly
frustrated at having to wrangle the Snap away quite frequently.

To confirm: I am having this exact issue. I've installed Firefox from
the PPA and set its priority, and yet it's not being respected by
Canonical's package, and the transitional DEB overrides it and then
installs the Snap package, at unexpected times when applying updates
generally.

I then have to manually uninstall the Snap and then do an "apt reinstall
firefox" and then the Firefox PPA overwrites the transitional DEB.

I agree with Paul that this is absurd and there is no way this is the
intended behaviour, is it?

If this is intended behaviour, please confirm that the transitional
Firefox DEB is *always* expected to take priority and users will never
be allowed to permanently override it.
