[Bug 1950550] [NEW] language support app automatically installs firefox deb package (21.10)

[Jacob van der Eynden]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 21.10
language-selector 0.216

If the initial 'Language support is not installed completely' prompt on
opening the app is accepted, the Firefox deb package will be installed
alongside the default Firefox snap package, resulting in two
installations of Firefox on the computer. This happens even though, in
my case, only the 'gimp-help-en' package is listed for installation, and
'firefox' does not seem to be a dependency of it.

** Affects: language-selector (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
