This explains situation.

Since when this became a known thing? I'm aware that the snap version is installed when the user is trying to install the deb version of Firefox by running,

sudo apt install firefox

But I never heard that the installed DEB version of Firefox is replaced by Snap version of Firefox.

My problem is not like that. I’m aware that when the user runs(without adding Mozilla’s apt repository),

sudo apt install firefox

the snap version of Firefox is installed. But I never heard that, though APT is configured to install Firefox from Mozilla’s repository, the DEB version will be uninstalled and the Snap version will be installed.

After creating a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04, I installed DEB Firefox from APT by following Mozilla's instructions from here. But I noticed that it was secretly replaced with Snap Firefox. I was able to verify this by checking the About Firefox page. This is the third time I noticed this.

I don't think that would be possible in an Apple phone. In an Apple phone, Apple can check where you are by checking your GPS coordinates.
