[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

[Nic]

When I try present Ubuntu to a new user, the only software he actually
recognizes in the menu is Firefox, to remove that just for a irrelevant
EULA is madness. People expect to have Firefox there, it's a very basic
and well known internet browser and the first software a new user fires
up to browse the web and google the names of all the other programs
installed which he doesn't know!

>From a different perspective, if you are not a new user to Ubuntu or
don't agree with the EULA, you don't have to agree with it, you can
remove it and use Epiphany or Iceweasel, it's a few clicks away for
someone who knows Ubuntu already.  For a new user, figuring out how to
install firefox on Ubuntu without a web browser to start with and google
it, will be difficult (the user will never know that Epiphany or
Iceweasel are in fact web browsers!).

Let's just figure out a better way to present the EULA, I vote for
adding it on the same page that opens up when you first install Firefox
3 (there is a presentation page with nice graphics) and not in an extra
Tab.
