firefox-3.0 package

typo in package description

Bug #262858 reported by Peter Cordes on 2008-08-30

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

It says:
...
Install this firefox package too, [for auto upgrades]

It should say:
Install the firefox ...

I had to re-read it a couple times to figure out it was a typo and not trying to say something about this (firefox-3.0) package!

This is related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/88232
but that's about the editorial decisions on the content of the message. (BTW, I think the current description is pretty good. esp. just saying it's designed to be light weight, not claiming that it actually is. :)
