One of the problems with the snap package of Firefox is that it can't communicate with programs outside of its snap such as Keepassxc. Also if you don't like the idea of using the self-contained enviroments that snaps implement, and would prefer your applications to live together inside a single OS with its installed libraries rather than duplicating them inside each snap, then replacing the default Firefox snap in Ubuntu may appeal. I'm appending a script I wrote for Ubuntu 22.04, which also works for Ubuntu 24.04. It achives a few things:
- Deletes Firefox snap
- Installs Mozilla's latest Firefox binary
- Sets up apt so that it prefers Mozilla Firefox over snap Firefox when updating packages
- Adjusts apparmor to allow external programs like Keepassxc to communicate with Firefox
