Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0
Steps to reproduce:
I needed native messaging after upgrading Ubuntu from 21.10 to 22.04. I saw an article at omgubuntu that said it was fixed in beta, so I installed firefox using
snap install firefox channel=beta
The version that was installed (and has been working fine) has been 104.0b9-1. HOWEVER when I choose (hamburger)-->Help--> About Firefox, it shows a different number
Actual results:
$ snap info firefox
name: firefox

[About Firefox]
Updates available at (mozilla url)
103.0.1 (64-bit)
Expected results:
I expected to see version 104.0b9-1, the beta version I am running, according to snap, because Native Messaging works (and it didn't on the stable release). Instead Firefox itself is showing 103.0.1 (which is close to what snap stable says)

my notes say when I installed it on 2022 08 02, I installed version 104.0b4-1 so apparently there have been a few minor updates to the beta channel since 08 02 (today is 08 22).
I looked because for a bit I have been getting an alert saying updates are available to download and for whatever reason it's not coming through snap as a later release

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Messaging System' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I opened Firefox again today on this computer and saw that it STILL reports it's running 103.1 despite having the snap refreshed
twt@Elite1:~$ snap info firefox

twt@Elite1:~$ snap refresh firefox --stable
firefox 104.0-3 from Mozilla✓ refreshed
twt@Elite1:~$
Firefox STILL shows version 103.1 in Help-->About Firefox
I ran the troubleshooter
The troubleshooting page showed me the info including the installation folder, which said
Computer /opt/firefox
Turns out I was running Mozilla Build of Firefox (via sourceforge)
I just removed Mozilla Build of Firefox.
SORRY nevermind
