Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

FireFox quit working on launch: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 desktop with LAMP installed. After all of these were installed, FireFox did an update and now gives the following message:

This means you didnt properly restart firefox after upgrading it. Thats
a known issue, but is hard to fix. to fix this log out and log in after
a firefox upgrade (if you see this)
