Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubufox

I (Mr. Paul R. Alrick-) am getting tired of seeing the Mozella Firefox "Start Page" in another language that I have no idea what it is saying, suggesting, or whatever else. I have tried to add an "add-0n" that was suppose to translate that Start Page into English, but I haven't been able to find it, even after the restarting (again, and again) of Firefox. I wonder where the problem is originating from? Please look into this problem, and this is the second email I sent you. Thank you. <email address hidden>

Ubof... I am not able to read in any kind of way, nor did I see any numbers on Mozella's Firefox "start page" to know or suspect what version it was. The version of Firefox browser is suppose to be 3.6.8 and I do not know enough about browsers or the internet to be able to get you the information you need to fix this bug? Is it possible that the next time you email me to link to this laptop so that I can restart Firefox "start page" and you will be able to download that page from where you see the information you want to fix this bug? Please inform me (by email) of your decision? Thank you? <email address hidden>

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to see your computer screen. Below I have included detailed instructions for how you can get the information we need.

1. Ubuntu version
- In the top panel, go to System > About Ubuntu, then report back what version is shown there (should be something like 9.04 or 9.10).

2. Firefox version
- Please go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
- Search for 'firefox' (you may need to search for 'firefox-3.5' if just 'firefox' doesn't show an installed version)
- Find which version of Firefox is installed (it will have a green box next to it)
- Please report back the full version number, including any extra letters or numbers after the initial version number (such as 3.5.8-nobinonly-*)
- To verify that this is indeed the version you are using, open Firefox, then go to Help > About Firefox
- Check that the version number you found in the Synaptic Package Manager matches the version number listed in About Firefox (at least the first few numbers, such as 3.5.8, or 3.6.2)

3. Start page
- Please start Firefox so that the Start Page is up
- Copy all of the text in the address bar, and paste it into your response

Please let me know if I need to clarify any of my instructions. Once we have this information, we will begin to process this report. Thanks in advance!

I am not real sure of what I could do to help fix this problem/bug. Thank you. <email address hidden>

I (Mr. Paul R. Alrick-) thank you for fixing that bug (with Firefox "start page"), but when you did so, I found out that I could only go to that "start page" of Firefox -and no further, ever (again!!). And due to other problems also, I finally erased my hard drive using a "low lever format" program (on a PC Basics CD), and I then reloaded Windows XP onto my laptop for the necessity of taking care of my (hundreds of) email notices. Thank you for helping me even though I only needed to do the other. <email address hidden>
