abrowser profile migration is wrong

right. migrating profile to abrowser-3.5 on upgrade is wrong. we should use firefox-3.5 statically. most likely firefox-@MOZ_APP_VERSION@ or something.

i think we can try to get this into jaunty to prevent further bad profile copies. If not before the release, certainly as a quick SRU.

This bug was fixed in the package firefox-3.5 - 3.5~rc2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

This issue appears to be fixed for me, I tested it just now; migration to firefox-3.5 profile directory was successful and did not migrate to abrowser-3.5 using the abrowser-3.5 package.
