Title: Can't uninstall Firefox in Ubuntu Mate Status in ubuntu-mate-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Does anyone know why Ubuntu MATE meta-packages require Firefox? A meta package for a distribution depending on a browser seems strange to me. For example, on Ubuntu (normal Ubuntu) removing Firefox does not remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. I'm fairly certain that other distributions based on Ubuntu don't have this problem either. If you ask me, this seems like a bug we should file and help fix. I think the correct action here would be for the Ubuntu MATE metapackages to set Firefox as a "recommended" package rather than a "required" one. I could be wrong on that though.
