Hi Duncan

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop brings back all packages u lost.

That's the risk to use unofficial backports.

Please ask the inofficial ubuntu-backports maintainer, to open up a
support channel for their mistakes.

Cause providing packages without QA and support (cause firefox is a main
package so there is a type of QA) is ridiculus.

Regards,
