Mozilla now has official repos for Firefox. Would it be possible to add a conditional for this to allow installation on Debian?

While looking into this, I noticed that even the current package for Firefox isn't working properly. It ends up installing the snap instead of the PPA, at least in newer Ubuntu versions. I think apt pinning would be necessary in order to make it work correctly.

jet@kubuntu:~/shared-folder$ ./deb-get install firefox
