Firefox stable snap points to 102esr?

Firefox snap just updated to v102.8.0esr-2 from v110, while tracking the stable channel. Is this by design or is it an oversight? For now I pointed my snap to the candidate channel as I don’t want to follow the esr version.

I was about to post the same thing. I can’t imagine it being intentional so I just ended up doing a snap revert firefox until the stable channel is sorted.

After the v110 update, and then doing snapd update, I lost all my fonts from firefox. Even reverting didn’t help me. I had to use a backup from timeshift.

It looks like Mozilla has resolved the issue now.
