Removing Firefox using [~$ apt-get remove firefox] uninstalls this package.

I am not sure if the is a dependancy issue, or someone just did not take into account user preferance when developing this software. For example, I may want to use Chrom(ium) and remove Firefox, while keeping this package. While this break remote login altogether?

lightdm-remove-session-uccsconfigure depends on firefox.

I think it should depend on the virtual package www-browser instead. When launching the browser, xdg-open could be used instead of the firefox command.

Agreed. Would this be better as a feature request then? I think it is a bug to have a lightDM package depend on a specific browser myself...

admin, can this bug be assigned to someone?

To this day, removing firefox removes any support for Remote session in Light-dm? Can someone give me an update?
