Before removing the base langpack and its three other dependencies:

askhl at askm:~$ dpkg -L language-pack-da-base | grep firefox
/usr/lib/firefox-addons
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-da at firefox-3.6.ubuntu.com

After adding all four packages again:

/usr/lib/firefox-addons
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-da at firefox-3.6.ubuntu.com
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-da at firefox-3.6.ubuntu.com/chrome.manifest
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-da at firefox-3.6.ubuntu.com/firefox-3.6-da.jar
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-da at firefox-3.6.ubuntu.com/install.rdf

At this point Firefox is in Danish again.
