Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

In Lucid Lynx LTS release the version of Firefox is known to not support silverlight, but it is still supplied in package availability. Stupidly, I installed it, figuring that it was fixed.

Firefox terminates immediately if you try anything other than open the home page.

The silverlight plugins should be removed from the distribution.
