[Bug 235769] [NEW] Firefox dependencies broken by update

[Ben]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

While updating my system, I was informed that hardy needed to perform a partial update.  Doing so removed firefox3b5 and prevented it from being installed again,   
Running "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0" yields
"The following packages have unmet dependencies: firefox-3.0: Depends: xulrunner-1.9 (< 1.9~b6~) but 1.9~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~8.04.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages"

I feel that ubuntu shouldn't have recommended an update to itself that
removes its own default web browser, but checking the repositories for
additional updates (via Update Manager & all repositories, d/l from Main
server) is fruitless.
