If Firefox is launched during slide show, it stays hidden when called later

[MarcRandolph]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

If any URLs are clicked during the install slide-show, Firefox is eventually launched displaying the URL(s). When the slide-show is over, ubiquity pops back to the top (so firefox is no longer visable at all) and prompts the user for more info. On the Mythbuntu disk, one of the options at this point to click another URL (for the Schedules Direct website). Doing so results in no feedback to the user at all. Firefox does load the new URL,but it stays hidden so that the user never sees it unless they know that they can <ALT>-<TAB> to switch windows.

It sounds like this was in --only mode (where ubiquity runs fullscreen). Can you confirm that?

[MarcRandolph (mrand)]

Yes, ubiquity was running full screen. I selected "install" from the CD, not Live mode.
Also, if it is not obvious from the above media line, this was a daily CD .iso from 2009-10-15, where I believe the ubiquity version is 2.0

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 452850

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
