A guide to run non-Snap version of firefox browser
remove the Firefox Snap:
sudo snap remove firefox
add the Mozilla Team PPA to your list of software sources:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
ensure the PPA/deb/apt version of Firefox is always preferred, copy and paste this whole code, not line by line:
echo '
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PP-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla-firefox
If you want future Firefox upgrades to be installed automatically:
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox
at last, install the Firefox deb using apt:
sudo apt install firefox
You will get rid of about half a GB idle memory use of snap, and some slowing down.

Ubuntu Pro
Your Ubuntu LTS is still secured in exactly the same way it has always been, with five years of free security updates for the ‘main’ packages in the distribution, and best-effort security coverage for everything else.
.....
What if I don’t want to opt-in to Ubuntu Pro? Will I stop receiving security updates for my Ubuntu LTS?
No, nothing has changed with Ubuntu LTS.
Why do I get notified now that there are packages that need security updates?
If you only install packages from the Main repository, or if there are no security fixes available for the software that you’re using from the ‘Universe’ repository - you will not see “Ubuntu Pro” updates in your APT CLI or the Software Updater GUI. The message is only displayed when you are using packages for which there are security fixes in Ubuntu Pro, and it gives you the exact list of packages that are affected on your system.
How can I find out if the packages I am using are coming from Ubuntu Main or Universe?
run in Shell: pro security-status
$ pro security-status
1790 packages installed:
1431 packages from Ubuntu Main/Restricted repository
354 packages from Ubuntu Universe/Multiverse repository
5 packages from third parties
