What is better to use in Ubuntu, a snap installation or a regular deb package?
Ubuntu is pushing snaps. However, I am not sure whether snap affects performance and other things. What is the advantage of snap for Firefox? Better security? Avoiding potential library conflicts? I don't think there is any conflict with the regular Firefox deb package. Moreover, the current snap Firefox gives me errors on Ubuntu 22.04.

Snap packages depend less on your system libraries. But deb packages are curated to work with your system libraries.

On Linux I just use the tarball builds from Mozilla www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
