  • deb packages are built for specific releases, and you've not told us yours. What you have shown though highlights that your deb package was just a stub that caused the firefox snap package to be installed (that snap package being maintained by Mozilla).

    If your system still reports itself as 22.04.3, then you're behind on applying security & other fixes/updates to your system. You can refer to fridge.ubuntu.com/2024/02/22/ubuntu-22-04-4-lts-released for the ISO release date of 22.04.4, but installed systems upgraded to 22.04.4 before that ISO release date.
