  Confirmation of improper behavior.  System: Ubuntu 8.04 i386 desktop installed fresh from CD and updated to 06 July 2008 on ABIT NF7-S2G board with Athlon XP 1500+, Phoenix BIOS 6.0, 1G ram, 300G HD.
  As installed, all boxes on the Firefox page Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Updates are checked, the button for "Automatically download ..." is selected, and nothing is greyed out.  If I now select the button "Ask me ...", the whole area from the "Ask me ..." button to the end of the page becomes greyed out and on future sessions, the top check box with "Firefox" is also greyed out.  I cannot now recover the original state.  This broken state persists through a "complete removal" (via Synaptic) of ubufox and all four default firefox packages, shutdown, reboot, and reinstallation.  The only way I have found to restore the original state is to remove my .mozilla directory, but that doesn't correct the improber greying-out behavior.  
  Doing the complete removal, erasing .mozilla, and reinstalling only the four firefox packges but not ubufox, makes no difference in the behavior.
  I also sent this to mozilla, having not found this mentioned there.
