I think it does, why wouldn't it work? That's installing it via aptitude, not flatpak.

It does not work as one would expect. Instead of installing Firefox itself, it installs some sort of a script that installs Firefox from snap.

It hasn't 'worked' since Ubuntu 21.10. Ubuntu overrides your apt install and installs the snap version instead for programs that have snaps.

I think you now need to add a PPA in order to get new versions or ESR of FF on Ubuntu.
