Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Twice now after update-manager has upgraded firefox, I get the box saying 'Your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted.' with a Restart button. I restart firefox either with the restart button, or by closing and re-opening firefox, or by doing a 'killall firefox' and restarting it manually. After a few seconds, the box reappears (ie every time after I restart firefox).

The only change I've made to firefox's configuration is to edit the /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js file and to add:

pref("browser.backspace_action", 0);
pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound", false);
 (until I reboot).

Version information:

Intrepid 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-7-generic i386
firefox 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

i also have this after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10.

i can't provide a list of the addons installed, because ff uses a modal dialog for the addons... bleh! but i have about 10-15 addons, including firebug, session manager, stack style tabs navigation, etc. i did not install any new addons when it broke.

And it's still doing it even after completely rebooting Ubuntu! Now this is just silly!
