Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

STARTING UP A CERTAIN 3.0.2 VERSION OF FIREFOX BROWSER MAKES AVAILABLE
TO YOU A VERY CAPITAL END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS
OBNOXIOUS and largely irrelevant to Ubuntu users.

The license refers to installation and closed-source parts which ARE
COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO UBUNTU USERS.

THE LICENSE PAGE ALSO DOES NOT PREVENT ME FROM USING THE BROWSER WITHOUT
AGREEING TO IT.

It deserves capital punishment DUE TO EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPS.

----------
Come on Mozilla. This is just stupid.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
