Ubuntuzilla is not an official Ubuntu project and as such I'm not sure there is much that we can do here.

[Howard Brodale (brodhow)]

I narrowed this problem down to just one package, the (Other Updates) Daniel Folkeshtyen

This is the unmodified Mozilla release binary of Firefox, packaged into a .deb by the Ubuntuzilla project.
It is strongly recommended that you back up your application profile data before installing, just in case. We really mean it!
Ubuntuzilla project homepage: http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/
Mozilla project homepage: http://www.mozilla.com

It won't download and errors out with that error: Failed to fetch http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/pool/main/f/firefox-mozilla-build/firefox-mozilla-build_10.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Got a single header line over 360 chars

 it says to check the internet connection which works fine for accessing the internet for this bug reporting.
