Just tried on 22.04:

	# apt-get --purge remove snapd
	# apt-mark hold snapd
	# apt-get install firefox
	Reading package lists... Done
	Building dependency tree... Done
	Reading state information... Done
	Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
	requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
	distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
	or been moved out of Incoming.
	The following information may help to resolve the situation:

	The following packages have unmet dependencies:
	 firefox : PreDepends: snapd but it is not going to be installed
	E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
