Bug Description

Firefox and Abrowser should only suggest installing ubufox (intead of recommending it) to avoid installing ubufox and synaptic on KDE.

A crazy side effect of recommending ubufox is that Abroser shows the "Mozilla Firefox End-User Software License Agreement"(!) on the first start of Abrowser (chrome://ubufox/content/mozeula.html).

I think the "fix" of bug #218865 is the reason for this bug. Please fix it, it's important for Kubuntu users.

Yes, indeed, that's very annoying for a Kubuntu user to be forced to install the GNOME desktop just for the Firefox Web browser.
