Really? Obviously, the current priority of 40 makes some users upset, but why would anyone complain about setting the priority to 70 to match Debian’s choice?

I think what’s going on here is that firefox-2 used a priority of 70:
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/maverick/firefox/maverick/annotate/44/debian/firefox.postinst
but then a new firefox-trunk package was created for Firefox 3 alphas with a lower priority, and the priority was never bumped back to 70 when firefox-trunk became firefox-3. There were no user complaints about the old priority of 70 AFAIK; it was changed accidentally.
