Uninstall and prevent Snap from working on Ubuntu and similar systems. Slow performance and privacy concerns are the main reasons. Here’s how you can get rid of the Canonical store, add flatpak to the software center if needed, and install Firefox using a .deb file. You’ll need to use the terminal, but the steps are easy to follow.
