The Ubuntu support tells that Mozilla provides directly a snap and thus that this software isn't integrated any more by the Ubuntu team :

The packages repository show that this is a new choice of Ubuntu since Ubuntu release Jammy Jellyfish (22.04 long term support) :

With the new 22.04 version of Ubuntu, I experience very long start-up compared to the previous long term support release. This could make Firefox less competitive compared to other web browsers which would benefit from a deb package.
The startup is very slow especially for the first startup of a snap machinery since the computer startup. The user may wonder if Firefox is buggy or if it became a bloatware. Moreover, this make Firefox less energy efficient with an increasing cpu and I/O usage (laptop battery operated, responsible behaviour towards the environment). Note that the total system memory consumption increases too.
