   Why snap again?

   So why are we defaulting to snap for Firefox? Besides sandboxing wasn't   
   it do have the latest and greatest version right? In installed Ubuntu   
   23.04 on a laptop. Found that you cannot just copy the profile from deb   
   install to snap, you have to create a new profile and just copy the   
   "important files" to the new snap version. I use to just copy the whole   
   profile directory, even when transferring from Windows to Linux just   
   worked. Any way created a scrip to simplify the process. But now to the   
   latest and greatest version bit...   
      
   The snap version was 111.0 where on my other laptop with 22.04 LTS where   
   I dumped the snap for the deb using the mozillateam-ubuntu PPA it is   
   running 113.0.1 same a Windows.   
   firefox:   
     Installed: 113.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1   
      
   Did another update on 23.04   
   Now firefox is at 113.0 but seemed to lag the deb version...   
   firefox:   
     Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3   
      
   snap info firefox | grep installed   
   installed:          113.0-2                  (2655) 255MB -   
      
   So the whole snap thing just seemed to unnecessarily complicate things.

   Take care,
