[Hardy] Firefox is not present in "Network" section of the menu in Kubuntu

[Nicolas Steinmetz]

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox entry in the Kubuntu menu under "Network" section is no longer present (it was with firefox 2.x)

In /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop we can see :

Categories=GTK;Network;

The icon reference looks also wrong (no .png extension and no path ?)

Version : Ubuntu Hardy
Package : 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

Thank you for reporting this bug. Do you have a fresh install of hardy or an updated system? What happens before you lost the firefox icon?

[Nicolas Steinmetz (nsteinmetz)]

I upgraded from Gutsy.

I tried to remove, purge and (re) install firefox and firefox-3.0 package but no differences/changes.

I also have KDE4 installed (if it may have some impacts...)

Fix committed in bzr. This will be uploaded with the upcoming Firefox 3 Release Candidate
