Ubuntu Software does not see Firefox as installed (testing on minimal installation option). The package is not shown in the list of installed software and the Install button for Firefox snap package is available. Installing this leaves both versions on the system, while expected for an experienced user this is not intuitive for a new Ubuntu user.

This is not a duplicate bug. Please re-read report. This is about the minimal install not listing Firefox *as* installed when it clearly is.
