[Bug 1971763] Re: www-browser is not satisfied by the default Firefox snap

[Silejonu]

The Firefox deb is not installed by default (on a minimal or normal install). Installing it manually does fulfill the dependency.
www-browser defaults to wslu if the user did not already install the Firefox deb. This is problematic because the translation packages Ubuntu asks its users to install will pull wslu, and break the desktop, on a fresh install.

Title:
  www-browser is not satisfied by the default Firefox snap

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When installing a package that has the virtual-package www-browser as
  a dependency, the Firefox snap is not taken into account.

  This leads to wslu being installed on Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop (notably
  when installing the GIMP translation packages), which breaks the ding
  desktop behaviour:
