I have a problem that involves firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu3. My problem is different but has been called a duplicate. I cannot use the URL bar. When I try to report the problem through firefox, I get a message that package firefox 3.6 does not exist. When I look at the name of the package that is listed as version 3.6+nobinonly-0ub, the name given is firefox-3.5. If there is an updated version, I have not been able to download it.

Please update to 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 as that should fix it as well.
