Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-notifier
Ubuntu Feisty, all updates installed
When the latest updates finished installing, I was presented with a notification bubble inviting me to click on an icon to open an alert. (This was already a waste of time -- why not just open the alert?)
The alert said: "Firefox restart required. Firefox has been upgraded (or reinstalled) and must be restarted. Please quit and restart your web browser now."
It was impossible for me to do this, because Firefox wasn't running at the time. Ubuntu should be smart enough not to ask me to restart things that aren't running.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this belongs on the wishlist. The way I see it, the Feisty update *SHOULD* change how Firefox runs, if only slighty. That would make it an upgrade/reinstall. I also don't see any indication that there is a problem with Firefox running after the message, if that is the case, please attach more info. Filing this under 'needs more info'.
