Comment 18 for bug 2043820

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for your proposed solution. While this may be fine for end users to do so, let me highlight some things people should know if they read this:
* This is a manual solution that could be applied to a system, but please take good care in checking that removing `firefox` doesn't remove your whole desktop, since some metapackages like `ubuntu-desktop` seems to depend on it. More generally, this solution is more a hack that might work for some people, but you better know what you're doing.
* Adding the Mozilla third-party repository may also be fine, but is not officially supported. This will install Firefox as a native package, while the official supported way on Ubuntu is with the snap. That mostly means that this is way less tested, and you might have other unknown issues there. You also need to evaluate the trust you put into that third party repo.
* This bug was opened because our automated testing is broken, so the root-cause needs to be fixed anyway. This is not really an end-user support thread.
