Except on Ubuntu it just installs the snap regardless. If you don't pay attention you may not even realize that it is a snap. Also the snap store is controlled exclusively by one company with a questionable history.

Read my comment again:

install Firefox from FlatPak
the Mozilla repo
or from source

In none of these cases will Ubuntu be able to install it from snap instead.
Only the Firefox "package" in the Ubuntu repos actually just links to a script that installs the snap.
