Public bug reported:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 affects /ubuntu/firefox

I was testing the feisty beta
daily-live/20070320.1/feisty-desktop-i386.iso as livecd, and I noticed
that when I launch firefox, the page is see is an advert for firefox
inserted by upstream.
 (http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.2/firstrun/)

This content is inappropriate in the context of Ubuntu: an Ubuntu user
doesn't need to be told not to use IE, or sold firefox.  And we have
our own welcome page for this very purpose.

The upstream ad page should be suppressed.

Ian.
