[Bug 2089159] [NEW] upgrade from 24.04 LTS to 24.10 reinstalled snap version of FireFox

[Tom Chiverton]

Public bug reported:

Under 24.04 LTS I'd installed FireFox via
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux# and removed
the Snap version

I ran the standard upgrade steps from
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OracularUpgrades/Kubuntu

At the end of install, before reboot, "snap list" shows the firefox Snap
is now back, and there is a "firefox" package installed.

The /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla file is still there.

I suspect this is because 3rd party packages are disabled during
upgrade, so the 24.10 firefox package was newer ?

This still shouldn't cause a snap reinstall. It should result in FireFox
being removed.
