I opened and closed the stable/ubuntu-21.10 channel for the firefox snap, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSeededSnaps#Channel_availability.
I then tested a dist-upgrade with my branch of ubuntu-release-upgrader in a clean and fully up-to-date hirsute VM, and I observed that the firefox snap was being installed and the deb uninstalled, and I also saw that: - the snap-store snap is being upgraded, as expected - firefox-locale-* debs are not being removed, they probably should - the gnome-3-34-1804 snap isn't being removed, despite becoming unnecessary (on a clean system with only the minimally seeded snaps − in practice though it is likely that on an actual system there will be other snaps that require it) - rebooting after the dist upgrade gives a blank login screen, there appears to be something broken there (probably unrelated to this change) - the default firefox launcher in the dock will be removed when the deb is uninstalled, it would be good to replace it with a launcher for the snap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943840 Title: [FFe] Update the ubuntu-desktop-minimal seed to use the firefox snap Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Impish: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Impish: Confirmed Bug description: Per Canonical's distribution agreement with Mozilla, we're making the snap¹ the default installation of firefox on desktop ISOs starting with Ubuntu 21.10.
