Remove firefox snap package
[Disclaimer: snap is not the issue for this bug, because Trisquel (a GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu) ships without snap, and Firefox is not added to the menu when I installed firefox (see the "Install firefox"). We only remove it below to make it possible to install the firefox ppa package.]

sudo snap remove firefox

This issue is easy to reproduce by running live mode in Ubuntu MATE 22.04, or even easier in Trisquel 11 (a distro based on Ubuntu 22.04 with MATE installed) since the firefox snap package is not installed.

Firefox snap
Disclaimer: This step is not needed in Trisquel (a distro based on Ubuntu + MATE).
About Firefox snap package that comes with Ubuntu
* In Ubuntu MATE 22.04: The default Panel's Classic Menu: "Internet -> Firefox Web Browser".
* In Ubuntu 22.04: In GNOME, it's visible in the menu. It also added to Favorites.

Remove firefox snap package
[Disclaimer: snap is not the issue for this bug, because Trisquel (a GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu) ships without snap, and Firefox is not added to the menu when I installed firefox (see the "Install firefox"). We only remove it below to make it possible to install the firefox ppa package.]
Run these steps (from https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04):
sudo snap remove firefox
echo '

echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox
For Ubuntu MATE: Reboot in order to remove the "Firefox Web Browser" from the Panel.
Status:
* Ubuntu MATE 22.04: "Firefox Web Browser" is removed from the Brisk Menu (actually the whole "Internet" category is removed from the Brisk Menu since "Firefox Web Browser" was the only item).
* Ubuntu 22.04 (GNOME): "Firefox Web Browser" is removed from both the menu and from Favorites.

Remove firefox snap package
[Disclaimer: snap is not the issue for this bug, because Trisquel (a GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu) ships without snap, and Firefox is not added to the menu when I installed firefox (see the "Install firefox"). We only remove it below to make it possible to install the firefox ppa package.]
Run these steps (from https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04):
sudo snap remove firefox

echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox
For Ubuntu MATE: Right-click on the MATE Panel and click on "Reset all Panels" to remove "Firefox Web Browser".[2]
Status:
* Ubuntu MATE 22.04: "Firefox Web Browser" is removed from the Brisk Menu (actually the whole "Internet" category is removed from the Brisk Menu since "Firefox Web Browser" was the only item).
