This has always been the Ubuntu Default.

I still like it better but it continues to lose market share(Sept. 2021)


There is an issue with Firefox and the DownloadHelper extension when installed as a snap. Firefox must be uninstalled as a snap and reinstalled as a deb from mozilla's ppa.

`sudo snap remove firefox`

`sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa`

`sudo apt update`

Add the following to the new file /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001

`sudo apt install firefox`
