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

I then ran snap refresh firefox:

bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ snap refresh firefox
firefox (stable/ubuntu-23.10) 118.0-1 from Mozilla\u2713 refreshed

and /usr/bin/firefox worked again.
