Apps uninstalling themselves? (lemmings.world)

I'm running Ubuntu, and every once in a while, I boot up my PC and some app is missing that was there previously. Last night I shut down my computer, and this morning Firefox was missing. I lost all my browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, extensions, etc.

This has happened several times before. Does anyone know what's going on? I know I'm not personally removing any of these apps. Is there something I could be doing unknowingly to do this?

Side note: do try out Firefox sync. It will only take a minute to setup, is pretty secure and most importantly saves your bookmarks, history, passwords, ... so you don't end up where you are today again. HTH

    I get that it can be convenient, but I don't want another account. Everybody wants me to sign up for everything, and my browser is not something I have a desire to sign up for. I already have bitwarden for my passwords. Losing my bookmarks and history is annoying, but it's not something that should be happening anyway. I'm more concerned about my software uninstalling itself.
