Mozilla now has an official Debian repository for running the latest Firefox releases.
Why not sooner? And what about RPM based distros?

Great to hear! Snaps are a really bad approach to universal packaging from canonical.
I hate snaps and flatpacks equally. They really cause more problems than they solve for new users.

I agree. There should have been an official Firefox repo from the beginning.
I do remember twenty years ago, Firefox development was incredibly Windows-centric. At one point it felt as though Firefox for Linux was a second class citizen. This was a radical departure from the Mozilla Suite which was maybe the first major desktop software to go from close to open source. For many years afterward, as a BSD/Linux user, I continued using SeaMonkey for that reason.
I assume having an official repo was just never a priority in the early days.
i hate snaps and if any distro trys to push that on me i getting uninstalled asap
