Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0-branding

The package description contains a few errors (in Ubuntu Intrepid, updated today):

  "This package ships the firefox branding bits. If you remove this package you
  your user experience will become that of the abrowser."

1) "firefox" should be "Firefox"
2) "you your"
3) And what's the abrowser? I think it needs an explanation.

abrowser shouldn't need an explanation in the firefox branding package, as it has its own description in its own package.
