> I had to google for how to install the non-snap version

Out of curiosity, how did you do it? I ended up downloading the firefox tar from their website and setting that the default browser. Could not find any trustworthy deb packages.

I highly recommend installing the .deb:

This method will:

- Install from the Mozilla PPA.

- Automatically update Firefox.

- Let you install third party integrations (I needed keepassxc).

Side bonus: I'm also not getting the annoying "You need to update Firefox popups" that are super cryptic and don't explain that you apparently need to close Firefox then, I don't know, wait a few minutes, I guess, for stuff to update in the background.

Not GP but the officially published flatpak is one option
