Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

The problem isn't happening anymore on latest Intrepid(at least for me). Bug can be closed.

ubufox would need to be the package since it controls the addons plugins dialog.

I apologize for the excess E-Mails. This is indeed no longer a problem. I had the package installed but disabled and ubufox was smart enough to know that. I got prompted after I removed the package.
