I tested an upgrade from Lunar to Mantic today using ubuntu-release-upgrader version 23.10.7 which changed the snap update process from `snap refresh` to `snap switch` and still encountered this issue.
bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ /usr/bin/firefox -h
Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed.
Please install it with:
snap install firefox
bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ snap info firefox
