This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

---------------
firefox (3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Alexander Sack <email address hidden> ]
  * fix firefox-3.5-gnome-support transitional package typo; depend
    on firefox-gnome-support instead of firefox-3.5-gnome-support
    - update debian/control

  [ Michael Vogt <email address hidden> ]
  * add missing Replace: firefox-3.0 for the firefox-branding package
    (LP: #518747). This fixes a upgrade issues from hardy to lucid.
    - update debian/control

  [ Jamie Strandboge <email address hidden> ]
  * debian/firefox.postinst.in:
    - remove AppArmor profile from dailies on upgrades (LP: #512470)
    - remove extraneous -T -W from apparmor_parser
    - check for disabled profile ourselves, since apparmor_parser on Ubuntu
      9.04 and earlier didn't honor the disable/ directory
  * debian/firefox.preinst.in: unconditionally disable the AppArmor profile
    on Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier, since it requires abstractions found only
    in 9.10
  * debian/control: have firefox Depends on lsb-release (needed in preinst)
  * debian/usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.in:
    - adjustments in rules for name change (LP: #513160)
    - allow /usr/bin/tr

  [ Micah Gersten <email address hidden> ]
  * Add replaces to firefox-branding on kubuntu-firefox-installer (LP: #439431)
    - update debian/control
  * Add firefox 3 transitional packages and Replaces/Provides/Conflicts
    (LP: #513074)
    - update debian/control
  * Don't install firefox.xml for adding entries to
    gnome-default-applications-properties (LP: #519606)
    - update debian/control
  * Update rosetta template name to firefox-3.6
    - update debian/translation-support/install.rdf.in
  * Update EM_TRANSLATION variables for firefox 3.6
    - update debian/rules
