install Firefox from the “Ubuntu Software” application
After using Ubuntu Software to remove Firefox Web Browser I have the option to again remove Firefox Web Browser. How do I get the installation control instead of the remove control?
Before removing the browser:

After removing the browser the dialog is the same: it shows a remove control. After closing the Ubuntu Software application and restarting it, it will still show a remove control.
I have a need to reinstall Firefox without using the command line because the command line is not yielding satisfactory results.
Note that I am not interested in "Firefox Quantum". Note there is a bug wherein the label next to the Firefox icon is "Firefox" when in fact it might be better as "Firefox Quantum" but that can be posted as yet another askubuntu.com problem.
