Not a problem. Perhaps fresh eyes on this would help. The problem seems to
be a package ubuntu ships with (ubuntustudio is ubuntu) called
xul-ext-ubufox that sets the ubuntu repos as the place to look for missing
plugins and sets some ubuntu sites in the bookmarks. With this unloaded, I
think I would be able to set bookmarks up... but we would loose the other
things that package brings. Aside from this, I do not think even the
firefox package is free of ubuntu patches... Perhaps we could create our
own US-ubufox package that would replace that one too. I am no long sure
which way to turn on this.

However, Scott also suggested having menu icons that open US sites so that
is why I suggested that would be possible. I am running out of free time
to work on it though. So someone else will have to figure it out. I will
still be around though, so if someone figures it out and can pass me the
info, I'll try it. The menu icons may be a good idea even if we do fix the
bookmarks.

The menu icons I can do relatively quick as there is no research involved.
But researching firefox stuff has already taken hours I don't have.
