I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and switched from Google Chrome to Firefox.
Firefox is install through snap by default. This prevents the 1Password browser extension from integrating with the desktop app.
If you installed 1Password for Linux or your browser using a containerized package manager such as Snap or Flatpak, the app won’t be able to communicate with 1Password in your browser.

Because I want to continue using the features that require the web browser integration with the desktop app, I removed the Firefox snap and installed it via the APT package manager following the guide on the below linked page.
Section I followed: Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions (Recommended)

This allows me to use the 1Password web browser extension integration with the desktop app, great!
However, Ubuntu is automatically reinstalling Firefox via snap, which is disruptive, as it will remove my dock icon that leads to the version installed through the APT package manager.
I did not manually reinstall the snap version of Firefox, I checked my bash history. This has happened twice so far.
I typically run this script once a day:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt -f install && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean && sudo snap refresh
I assume this script is where Ubuntu is reinstalling the snap version of Firefox.
Can someone help me prevent Ubuntu from reinstalling the Firefox snap?
