[Bug 94293] Re: (Feisty) Firefox requires manual JRE install

[Christian Convey]

OK, so the Ubuntu user experience has a problem.  The version of
Firefox installed in Ubuntu lead the user (me) through a series of
steps that we know don't work on Ubuntu, and there was no direction
given for what the Ubuntu-blessed way is to get JRE installed.

I have no problem with installing jre via apt rather than Firefox's
installer.  My real issue is that from a usability perspective,
Firefox takes the user down a fruitless path to resolve the issue.

My concern is that we just shrug our shoulders, call this an upstream
problem, and close the bug, then we're basically punting on Ubuntu's
goal of being really easy to use for everyone.
