Binary package hint: firefox

I am using Ubuntu version 8.04.1 with Firefox 3 (updated as of 28 Sep 2008) and the "Preferences>Advanced>Update" options are not disabled initially. Once any of the options are unchecked, the corresponding field will gray-out and become inaccessible. Since these update options should be handled by Synaptic, it appears they should show disabled within Firefox and be grayed-out the first time they are viewed. With the way the options page works currently, there is no way to know which program is actually handling the updates.
