[Bug 139543] firefox .deb overwrites firefox.cfg which stores systemwide settings such as startpage, proxy

[Janåke Rönnblom]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

/usr/lib/firefox/firefox.cfg is used for systemwide settings of
startpage, proxysettings, enable/disable of functions for all users of a
system. firefox.cfg is overwritten by the latest update to Feisty
(2.0.0.6+1-0ubuntu1) and all of my machines need to have a fix applied!

I use it to control a number of machines that are running Feisty in a
kiosksetup and automatic updates applied. This behaviour breaks the
machines!

In the lab I tried setting the firefox.cfg with chattr +i but then the
updated firefox .deb isn't installed.
