firefox from the resources has wrong dependences

[aljoscha]

Binary package hint: firefox

If i want to install firefox from the resources, it wants to install many other packages too which aren't need. (e.g. synaptic)

This is probably through the ubufox Recommends.

But are all the packages really essential for ubufox? And why isn't the ubufox installation optional?
