    will finally ship with a DEB package for Debian-based distributions

    That’s good news for the more specifically Ubuntu-based distributions and their users. I trust that Debian will continue to build its own packages.

      It may still be nice to have a reference implementation. For example maybe they can see if there are extra hardening options that they can enable or adopt the more seamless update flow.

      Yeah, really happy about this. $WORKPLACE uses Ubuntu and the Snap is just mildly broken in multiple ways. The .tar.bz2 works, but we would have had to script the download + creation of the .desktop file. We successfully procrastinated doing the latter long enough, that Mozilla fixed it.

      I had some issues that happened on debian and not on firefox nix package, maybe debian packaging is not great and this can help improve it.
