Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

The split of ubuntu tweaks to ubufox reveals that resource:/browserconfig.properties is not installed. So if you uninstall ubufox you don't have a homepage. Further you get an exception like:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIStringBundle.GetStringFromName]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: anonymous :: line 3890" data: no]

which causes breakage of startup sequence. For instance session restore will not work.
