You didn’t have to wait for this new Firefox package to stop using snaps, did you?

The Firefox deb in the repos redirected and did a snap install or some weirdness at least at some point.

Must have been an Ubuntu problem.

I install Firefox via Debian's package, and have never had 'snapd' installed.

Yes. Ubuntu maintained their own deb package that redirected to a snap install.
