>From the xul-ext-ubufox package description:

	"Adds Ubuntu-specific modifications to Firefox.

	Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:

	 * Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software 			catalog
 	* Add the following options to the Help menu
  	 - Get help on-line
  	 - Help translating Firefox
  	 - Ubuntu Release Notes
 	* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
 	* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
 	* Add ask.com to the search engines.

	You can uninstall this if you prefer to use a pristine Firefox
install."
