“been forced” part is definitely true for Firefox and Thunderbird packages. Snap packages takes precedence over deb package, if I remember it correctly.
It can. There was a ‘feature’ in Ubuntu before that made apt actually fetch the Snap version instead. I think this was the case for Chromium and Firefox. I don’t know if this is still the case though.

It is difficult to switch out the Firefox snap for the deb. If you install anything from the easy-to-use software store it’ll be a snap.
I’m glad I know my way around the terminal tools
Best way is to add Mozilla deb repo,IMO.
The deb is in the Ubuntu repositories by default.
But I just installed Firefox with apt-get. Fairly certain it doesn’t install the snap version that way.
Can you check if you already have Mozilla deb repo setup on your ubuntu installation?
