Bug Description

If I do an upgrade from gutsy to hardy with lang-pack installed for FF2 then I get 2 FF icons in internet menu 1 for FF2, 1 for FF3. I will try an upgrade again tomorrow morning with only ENG and double check that FF2 is removed.

Log files to follow as soon as I find out which are needed.

I don't think this is a bug. I've had Firefox-2 all along in Hardy since the early alphas. I believe hardy is shipping with both, but FF3 will be the default.

Actually I've done a fresh upgrade with English only FF2 on gutsy and no FF2 in the hardy upgrade. It only happens when you add language packs to FF2.

P.S. the upgrade tests were done on Asac's request to track this down.
