Bug Description

Summary: Updates handled by Synaptic are not greyed out in Firefox's preferences

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to Edit -> Preferences
  2. Go to the Advanced section
  3. Go to the Updates tab
  4. Uncheck Firefox

Expected Result:
Firefox checkbox and what it disables should have been disabled to begin with because Firefox doesn't handle its own updates (Synaptic does)

Actual Result:
Firefox checkbox and its corresponding options are only disabled after user manually unchecks it.

This is only true for the Firefox checkbox, right? I can unclick and re-click Add-Ons and Search Engines since Synaptic doesn't handle those. I can confirm that much as a usability bug.
