Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

N: Unable to locate package pkgname

Bookmarks in firefox are not deletable. Attempting to use mouse to left or right click for item removal dialogue only serves to connect to the link, instead. This is a potentially serious security bug.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
