Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Accessing my corporate Lotus Notes mails through https:
Getting a popup window "application is requesting to establish connection to Ubuntu, do you want to allow?"
And then it causes the keyboard to write backwards within firefox.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
