When I reinstall Linux Mint, I uninstall the apt package and install Firefox from the tarball using a custom script I made [1].

This way, I get the official Firefox package without Mint adding their own stuff on top of it, I get the official Firefox icon and not Mint's icon theme variation of it, I don't need to edit keyring files or import GPG keys, and it updates automatically without forcing me to restart the browser.
