I have just completed a new installation of Ubuntu 22.04 and opened Firefox. On the Settings page, I'm seeing a message that says, "Your browser is being managed by your organization." My device is a personal home desktop not connected with any organization. Why am I seeing this message on a brand new installation?

Mozilla only provides updates for their own builds of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/desktop-release/ and not to third-party builds.

The Updates for your Ubuntu provided build of Firefox (appears to be a old version at Firefox 122.0) are from Ubuntu and not Mozilla.

Normally I see people posting about this "managed by your organization" by Mint users and not Ubuntu users though Mint is based on Ubuntu. https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4244
