Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Using Jaunty Beta 1 installed on my laptop Acer 9300 wlmi (4 Go ram) "installed" with WUBY I tried to import my bookmarks in Firefox 3 with the Xmarks addon ( bookmarks synchronyser, previously named Foxmarks ).
(ADBlock-plus and flashplugin-nonfree installed too) First it work but at reboot all the bookmarks disapeared and Firefox was totally unuseable : google toolbar not working, Google not working, all the "search-tools" on differents websites not working... The only way to go somewhere was to type the entire URL.
By cliking the Xmarks logo (bottom right) it crash Firefox and close it instantly. No way to uninstall this addon : the "addon" entry in "tools" was not working. I didn't know an other way ton uninstall plugins so I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox but it didn't solve the problem and Xmarks was still there. It pissed me off so much so I reinstalled the whole OS with WUBY, I'm now using Firefox with ADBlock-plus and flashplugin-nonfree only and everything seems to work well.
