no issues

This occurs when apt reports firefox is installed because it tries to reference the user to use a snap instead.

tested fix: tell ubuntu to not use snap, but the apt package instead.

Do you think we should amend the setup script to do this automatically?

This gets into tricky territory though, as uninstalling something like a web browser to install from a different source could cause issues for people.

Maybe we just add something to the README? Or prompt Ubuntu users? Not sure.
