vUDS and preparation for 13.10

[Phill Whiteside]

I think until bug 1096603 is resolved[1], with note to comment #4 from the
Chromium maintainer, we would be better to ship with Ffox for simply
reasons of ram usage. Add to that our long term goal of improving
accessibility for lubuntu and it becomes even more a case of making the
switch. As currently the case with Ffox, if we ship Ffox people are welcome
to install Chromium which will still be supported as a core application.

Regards,

Phill.
