I disagree for many reasons, but I realize that nobody on Lemmy really gives a shit since people here react to anything that even smells of proprietary as if it was radioactive.
Firefox is literally not in Ubuntu’s repos anymore. They didn’t want to maintain it as Mozilla agreed to just make the Snap version that works across all Ubuntu versions and anywhere else.
What should the command do? Just fail? Instead it clearly tells you it’s downloading the snap of Firefox.
In fact if it was up to me I would just get rid of most GUI apps from the repos that have a snap/flatpak equivalent.
