Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After installing upgrade FIREFOX_3_0_11_BUILD2 I can't see https page after Citrix logon. FF write: "Loop by redirecting". Without this package was FF running OK.

Please send me some script to uninstall this package. Thanx.

In Firefox was updated this components:

Version 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1:
  * security/stability v3.0.11 build2 (FIREFOX_3_0_11_BUILD2)
    - see USN-779-1
  * adjust patches to changed upstream codebase
    - update debian/patches/bzXXX_reload_new_plugins.patch
This is a meta package that will point to the latest firefox package in ubuntu. Don't remove this if you want to receive automatic major version upgrades for this package in future.
Install this firefox package too, if you want to be automatically upgraded to new major firefox versions in the future.
This package ships the Firefox branding bits. If you remove this package your user experience will become that of the abrowser.

Version 1.9.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1:
  * New upstream release v1.9.0.11 build2 (FIREFOX_3_0_11_BUILD2)
    - see USN-779-1
  - adjust patches to changed upstream code base
    - update debian/patches/bz372826_att337031_about_style.patch
XUL is Mozilla's XML based User Interface language that lets you build feature-rich cross platform applications. These applications are easily customized with alternative text, graphics and layout so that they can be readily branded or localized for various markets. Web developers already familiar with Dynamic HTML (DHTML) will learn XUL quickly and can start building applications right away. XPCOM is a cross platform component model. It has multiple language bindings and IDL descriptions so programmers can plug their custom functionality into the framework and connect it with other components.

My last running version was: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; cs-CZ;
rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10
I running it on my netbook now, where I have last version, that is
running (OK for Citrix logon to my working place). I try to uninstall
"critical" packages on my desktop by "aptitude". Packages from
"native" Firefox was uninstalled OK (3 packages: "firefox" - meta
package..., 67 kB + "firefox-3.0" - safe and easy web browser... 866
kB + "firefox-3.0-branding" -Package that ships the firefox... 197
kB), but I'm not able uninstall package "xulrunner-1.9" XLU + XPCOM...
7.0 MB :-(.
Problem still running, so maybe the problem is in "xulrunner-1.9" package.
But I'm not so risky :o), to try it on my netbook (install 3 packeges
without xulrunner), cause I need login to my woringk place :-/.
I will send actual data from my desktop PC.
Sorry for my english :-/.
