This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1

---------------
firefox (5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream release from the stable channel (FIREFOX_5_0_BUILD1)
    - see LP: #798484 for USN information

  * Update globalmenu-extension to 1.0.6
  * Switch to mozilla-beta
    - update debian/mozclient/firefox.conf
  * Drop the ability to build with an external xulrunner, and all the packaging
    complexity which went with it
    - update debian/apport/firefox.in
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
    - update debian/firefox.lintian-overrides.in
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
    - update debian/mozconfig.in
    - update debian/rules
  * Build language packs directly from the firefox source
    + Fixes LP: #294187 - Firefox Locales should install locale specific
      search plugins
    + Rip out the bits to create a en-US.xpi
      - update debian/rules
      - remove debian/translation-support/install.rdf.in
    + Include compare-locales FIREFOX_5_0b1_BUILD1 from
      http://hg.mozilla.org/build/compare-locales. It's needed for merging
      en-US strings with incomplete locales
    + Pull l10n data in to tarball from bzr
      - update debian/mozclient/firefox.conf
    + Configure build for creating language packs by configuring with
      "--with-l10n-base="
      - update debian/mozconfig.in
    + Store the list of locales to ship, and provide a way of automatically
      generating that list and the control file entries from the upstream
      source. Also provide a way to blacklist languages. We map languages
      to package names using langpack-o-matic (and also get descriptions
      from there too)
      - update debian/rules
      - add debian/locales-supported
      - add debian/control.langpacks
      - update debian/control
      - add debian/locale-blacklist
      - add debian/refresh-supported-locales.pl
    + Add common-build-indep hook to build the translation xpi's
      - update debian/rules
    + Add common-binary-post-install-indep to install the xpi's and
      searchplugins in to the correct debian packages
      - update debian/rules
      - add debian/get-xpi-id.py
    + When rebuilding debian/control in the clean target, fail the build
      if the control file was out-of-date. This ensures that we don't
      accidentally drop language packs, and forces me to maintain an
      up-to-date control file in bzr
      - update debian/rules
    + Apply vendor patches to localized searchplugins too
      - update debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-amazon.patch
      - add debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-baidu.patch
      - update debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-google.patch
  * Ditch all the version-number based branding selection. Do this all
    purely on the channel name now
    - remove debian/firefox-beta.desktop.in
    - remove debian/firefox-nightly.desktop.in
    - remove debian/firefox-unofficial.desktop.in
    - rename debian/firefox-final.desktop.in => debian/firefox.desktop.in
    - update debian/firefox.desktop.in
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Drop the DEB_ENABLE_IPC option, now that IPC is mandator...

---------------
mozvoikko (1.9.0~svn20101114r3591-0ubuntu3.11.04.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * Drop some of the changes from the last upload, as firefox-dev is
    equivalent to xulrunner-dev now
    - update debian/rules to not set XULRUNNER_SDK_DIR
    - update debian/patches/fix_sdk_build.patch to set XULRUNNER_SDK_DIR
      using pkg-config in Makefile.xulrunner
    - update debian/patches/port_to_xulrunner-192.patch to use libxul.pc
      rather than firefox-plugin.pc, and drop the list of linked libs
  * Rename port_to_xulrunner-192.patch to port_to_firefox5.patch and merge
    increase_max_ff_version.patch in to it
  * Update port_to_firefox5.patch because of changes to mozISpellCheckingEngine
    in Firefox 5 (LP: #798484)

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Tested Firefox 5 w/QRT on amd64 and i386, no regressions over previous functionality found in natty. Also tested ES, DE, HE, PT, and FR languages and they did not display any errors due to missing files. mozvoikko seems to be working, webfav seems to produce a .desktop file.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

I found a regression: I'm using Ubuntu in Finnish and after I updated FF through SRU, I lost the Finnish locale. I tried restarting but my FF is still in English. I did the update with apt-get and it also installed/updated language-pack-fi-base. The add-on manager doesn't show the Finnish locale but mozvoikko is shown. What package should provide the locales?

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

If you did the upgrade with "apt-get upgrade", then it won't have pulled in the new translations (firefox-locale-fi). apt-get upgrade is broken, as it doesn't handle installing new packages at all. You shouldn't be using it to do upgrades.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

@papukaija
Did you run apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade? The former probably would have caused your issue. There is now a firefox-locale-fi package that the new language packs would have pulled in either through a dist-upgrade or by using update-manager.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

I used "apt-get upgrade". Manually installing firefox-locale-fi fixed the issue. I used update-manager on my second PC and it installed firefox-locale-fi correctly.

[Sebastian Carneiro (scarneiro)]

I have installed Firefox from natty-proposed on saturday and using it without any regression since that day.

Best regards.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

I had no idea bindwood was still sitting in proposed, how come it hasn't been copied? I had this ready more than 5 weeks ago, it's not good that we delay it so long that we get bug reports from Natty users about bindwood breaking compatibility.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I was waiting for someone to confirm the new builds in natty-proposed actually worked. No one has stepped forward to do that for bindwood, moon, or gecko-mediaplayer.
If people are interested in these builds moving to -updates/-security, can someone please comment here that they've tested them and if there are any regressions.

[dobey (dobey)]

I can verify that bindwood installs and is loaded correctly by Firefox again, now with Firefox 6 which my machine has already been updated to. Please get it pushed to -updates.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package bindwood - 1.99.0-0ubuntu1.1

---------------
bindwood (1.99.0-0ubuntu1.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * Add support for Firefox 6: (LP: #798484)
    - bump maxVersion to 6.0.*
    - don't use "class" as a variable name, as it's a reserved keyword
 -- Chris Coulson <email address hidden> Fri, 17 Jun 2011 04:34:13 -0500

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Sorry, gecko-mediaplayer and moon haven't been tested and are still in -proposed waiting for testing
