Or you could just not decide to remove the snap ecosystem, and resume using apt and friends.
Upgrading from 20.04 to 22.04 forced a snap installation of firefox, but there are ways around this:
e,g,:
https://cialu.net/how-to-disable-and-remove-completely-snaps-in-ubuntu-linux/
and
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04

At least as fast, and - so far - none of the accompaning problems.
