This version of this package doesn't exist within the Ubuntu repositories. The version provided by Ubuntu is a transitional package which installs the snap package provided directly by Mozilla.

Since the version of Firefox installed was unable to upgrade to this version, it created an impossible situation and caused an error and is completely unsupported.

Therefore, this bug is being closed as invalid.
