Snap package prevents automation

Steps to reproduce:
I tried to use firefox in a pipeline
Actual results:
I cannot start firefox without using the snap package, which is not possible within a docker container
Expected results:
Firefox needs to offer a package that is not only available via snap, snap is not a valid way to run any software in an automated fashion, you've broken QA pipelines across the industry. Offer an actual package for your software instead of the Linux brand of Windows Update.
The guide that you will inevitably post here telling me how to pin your PPA does not work, it still just installs the snap version, which is objectively worse and does not function in a non-userland environment.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
was able to solve this with a separate solution. would like to reiterate that pinning does not work.
