This package is hosted at our repository, you can delete the list:

 

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/githubcli.list

 

For the Firefox, I have to check. Our package should be snapd free. Perhaps try to uninstall firefox, remove snapd and install firefox again (should be downloaded from armbian repo).

I'll give that a shot after the weekend when the current new dirt addition to this printer should be working. Right now I'm torture testing the relay that will control the motor driver, waiting on Amazon to deliver some 30 amp 50 volt schotkey's to make a flywheel diode. Otherwise the back emf fry's the bugs in a 300 watt buck kit at turnoff time, that limits the start up currant to something the OEM 24 volt supply can handle.  I am a 90 yo, long retired CET, we teach EE's stuff their profs didn't but getting rusty now. Thanks Igor.

its my understanding that both fire-fox and t-bird are only snaps these days. Being a little paranoid, I didn't delete that file but renamed it to .last which apt barked about but didn't use. then the usual reload & full-upgrade procedure replaced both snapd and t-bird. t-bird I could probably remove as that is a printer and has never sent/received an email. My network does not disallow that as all other net stuff still works. Firefox apparently has its own update mechanim, all I need to do is stop it for an hour or so, and get the new version when it announces its availability in the upper right corner of its workspace.  Thank you Igor.

By default, with Ubuntu, yes, with Armbian no. We pull snap free version from Mozilla PPA team:
https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/external/firefox-noble.conf

and apply hack - repack with higher version then provided by Ubuntu:
https://github.com/armbian/scripts/blob/main/.github/workflows/download-and-test-external.yml#L258-L269
