Ah, sorry, I manually removed firefox-3.0-gnome-support and
firefox-gnome-support too.
I wouldn't remove ubuntu-desktop, it won't break anything (at the
moment), it's not really a program/package as such, it's a meta package
that holds the, err, structure, of what Ubuntu looks like together.
Removing it won't hurt anything, but as upgrades happen, things may
start to get messy...
Just -
sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support
and it'll be OK...
Ubufox just tailor FF to Ubuntu, it works with FF2 just fine.
