Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I just opened about:config in Firefox 3 and I get the following message:
"This might void your warranty!
Changing these advanced settings can be harmful to the stability, security, and performance of this application. You should only continue if you are sure of what you are doing."
Does this really represent the opinion of Canonical/Ubuntu? It sound like I will not receive any security updates if I do changes.
Personally I laughed at this warning. But I think it is just not in the sense of FLOSS (freedom to adept) and should be removed.

While it may be legally fine (bug 417724), people are taking it seriously. We've had a few complaints about this roll in.
