Bug Description
My problem is simple. Firefox is launching by itself at startup. I can't disable this and if I try to purge it then it tries to also uninstall MATE desktop WTF ??!!
sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install -y firefox
[sudo] password for mateuser:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
firefox* ubuntu-mate-core* ubuntu-
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 107 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
I don't get what's happening here, Firefox is not part of a DE. I was considering to donate to the project but with this FOSS radical attitude I wouldn't.
