I left Ubuntu specifically because of the Firefox on snap. I had to use an ethernet cable to install Debian due to wifi firmware issues, but once I moved to testing and included non-free wi-fi worked. The only complaint I have is the way BT is handled, but this might be a kernel issue, or a gnome one.

Having hopped around different Debian-based systems, BT worked more or less problematically as a function of the kernel they were using. Ranging from "No problem, plug-and-play" to "erratic". More generally, you could give Linux Mint a try if you liked what Ubuntu used to be. Their mainline version is based on Ubuntu, but with a specific pledge to not go down the snap road. They have many other great improvements as well. Linux Mint also has a specific Debian edition called LMDE, where they basically reproduce the Ubuntu-based version in case they need to jump ship one day, if Ubuntu decides to go down an un-acceptable rabbit hole.
