They have been doing this for a while.
Would recommend you to stick to MX,Mint or if you care only about stability and not Updates debian.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you correctly set your apt preferences? I didn't have any issues anymore since I've done that.
I'm sure that I've set the apt preferences according to Mozilla's article. I'll have to wait and see until a new update arrives to Firefox.
Yeah they've been doing that for a while
I battled that for about a year and then ditched Debian based diatros altogether.
OpenSUSE ftw
This isn't Debian's fault! It's purely an Ubuntu/Canonical problem. Debian's only apt by default, no snap.
You could have gone pure Debian. There are no snap shenanigans over there :)
OpenSuse is also a great pick tho!
I suggest Mint or straight Debian. I prefer Mint for anything graphical, Debian for headless
Why use Mint when Mx exists.
What benifit does Mint have over Debian for anything graphical?
Its driver manager is better for newbies. Worse for experienced users though imo.
I've just found it's more polished right out of the box. Definitely more new-user-friendly, like Ubuntu, but with Snap gutted out.
I have been using the regular Mint (based on Ubuntu), but I'm probably going to use the Debian edition next time I install a new system
Welcome to 2020, where Debian is once again your trusted distro.
Always was.
I've had it happen too. In fact it is what prompted me to move away from Kubuntu.
