Test Plan --------- 1) Install Ubuntu 22.04.2 using an amd64 desktop iso image 2) Open a terminal 3) Run x-www-browser www.ubuntu.com 4) Observe a command not found message which recommends installing firefox Installing of a daily build of Ubuntu 22.04 with -proposed enabled and ubuntu-desktop version 1.481.1 will not exhibit the above problem. Where problems could occur -------------------------- Other Info ---------- I tested an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 and the firefox deb was not removed during the upgrade process so upgrades are a non-issue. Original Description -------------------- Bug 1964036 leads me to believe that the firefox deb provides some important functionality (the firefox favourite icon in the gnome shell dock) but there is nothing that would require the deb to be installed (it is not seeded nor has an rdep) and the package description indicates that it can be safely removed. Is there some important functionality that it provides?
