Hi Chris. I am inclined to suggest that logic suggests otherwise, and that you are turning the issue upside down in your post #5. Firefox only needs to meet the freedesktop.org specifications for user interface compatibility. If Unity deviates so as to require a special module to integrate Firefox in its user interface, then that should be added to Unity, not to Firefox.
As things stand, the firefox-globalmenu package adds an extension to Firefox. If a user of, say, Xubuntu or Kubuntu now opens the Firefox Extensions page, then that user is presented with an extension which is useless because it has no – and cannot have any – functionality in the Xfce or KDE desktop user environments. This is not even explained in so many words to the Firefox user who explores his/her installed Firefox Extensions (only implicitly if he or she happens to know what the ambiguous expression "Unity appmenu" stands for). The user should not be presented by default with useless Firefox extensions. It simply is a Unity problem, not a Firefox problem. It should be resolved in Unity, not in Firefox. And the untargeted universal installation of a Unity-specific Firefox Extension irrespective of the actual desktop installed, be it Unity, XFCE, KDE or other, is the worst of all solutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085536 Title: Xubuntu has firefox-globalmenu package witch it cant use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1085536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
