Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After upgrading to Firefox 3.0rc1 (from hardy-proposed) the browser is completely broken. I have no adress bar, no search bar. The back and forward buttons are greyed out, shortcut keys don't work anymore.

I had run a Firefox 3.0 rc1 before, but that was in my own home directory.

The problem disappeared only after a complete removal of the directories

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5

and a reinstallation of firefox.

The problem is solved for me, hope this does not affect too many new Ubuntu users.
