Title:
  Error dialog after clicking on "Release notes" button at step 1 of the
  Ubiquity installer

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When I click on the "Release notes" button at step 1 of the Ubuntu
  9.04 ubiquity installer, Firefox starts but I get the following error
  dialog on top:

  "An error ocurred while loading or saving configuration information
  for firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work
  properly."

  The dialog has a "Details" button. If I click on it, the following
  error message appears repeated five times:

  "Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
  you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
  locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
  information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did
  not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
  did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the
  reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was
  broken.)"

  THE BUG IS ONLY REPRODUCIBLE WHEN I SELECT "INSTALL UBUNTU" AT BOOT.
  If I select "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and then
  click on "Install" desktop icon, the error dialog does NOT show.

  I attach an screenshot to illustrate the problem.
