Hello,
Point (1) is indeed to be expected, because the 'firefox' deb package
provided by Ubuntu itself (which has a purpose of serving as a thin
wrapper around the Firefox snap and adding some system integration for
it) has a version 'epoch' of '1' (e.g. in '1:1snap1-0ubuntu5' that is
the '1' before the ':'), whereas the deb package from Mozilla's
repositories has the default epoch of '0'. Therefore to dpkg, the one
with the higher epoch (i.e. Ubuntu's) is seen as newer. As such, I
believe specifying '--allow-downgrades' is necessary when installing the
one from the Mozilla repos.
As for (2), I believe that should not happen if you set up apt pinning
to prioritize the Mozilla repository (step 5 of their instructions). Can
you please double-check that you performed that step?
