ii firefox 2.0.0.3+3-0ubuntu2 lightweight web browser based on Mozilla
ii firefox-dev 2.0.0.3+3-0ubuntu2 Development files for Mozilla Firefox
ii firefox-gnome-support 2.0.0.3+3-0ubuntu2 Support for Gnome in Mozilla Firefox
ii libnspr-dev 1.firefox2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2 Netscape Portable Runtime library - development files
ii libnspr4 1.firefox2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2 Netscape Portable Runtime Library
