[Bug 1875842] [NEW] "UEFI Firmware Settings" set as default item in Grub menu

[Brylie Christopher Oxley]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from Kubuntu 19.10 to 20.04, my GRUB menu includes a
"UEFI Firmware Settings" entry. The problem is, the "UEFI Firmware
Settings" entry is set as the default boot option. This is inconvenient,
as most users would probably not want to configure their UEFI firmware
settings very often or at all.

I was able to resolve this issue with the following instructions:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order/110738#110738

However, running shell commands and editing system configuration text
files should not be required as part of the default Ubuntu experience
:-)
