Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

RELEASE: Maverick Meerkat
CD/DVD VARIANT: all Ubuntu and Xubuntu images
ISO BUILD: 2010-08-03 pre-release Alpha 3

SYMPTOMS:
There are default website bookmarks included in firefox. Selecting Bookmarks -> Ubuntu and Free Software links -> Ubuntu Wiki (community-edited website) results in "page not found error". Since this is a default bookmark, it should point at a valid page.

CAUSE:
Website has moved

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

   1. Install Maverick
   2. Open firefox
   3. Select Bookmarks -> Ubuntu and Free Software links -> Ubuntu Wiki (community-edited website)

I think the correct page is supposed to be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/

In addition to this, we should refresh the icons with the new Ubuntu branding too. Opening Firefox for the first time will show the old Ubuntu logo in the Bookmarks menu, until you've visited the site for the first time

  * Provide iceweasel
    - update debian/control
  * Really build with MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 this time, so that the crash
    reporter is actually enabled
    - update debian/rules
  * Only enable the crashreporter and build the Breakpad symbols on i386,
    amd64 and armel
    - update debian/control
    - update debian/rules
  * Blacklist Firefox in Apport on architectures where we use the Mozilla
    crash reporter
    - add debian/apport/blacklist
    - update debian/rules
  * Drop the DEBIAN_META_NAME stuff - we don't need this now we are always
    using unversioned sources for the official in-archive version. This
    simplifies the wrapper script a little
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Rework how abrowser is launched a little. Drop an unnecessary patch
    and ship both abrowser and abrowser-bin files in LIBDIR. With the
    DEBIAN_META_NAME bits gone, the wrapper script will always search for
    $LIBDIR/abrowser if you launch /usr/bin/abrowser. From there, the Mozilla
    scripts already handle this properly
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
    - update debian/rules
    - remove debian/patches/abrowser_run_mozilla.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Don't handle launching GDB in our wrapper script, run-mozilla.sh
    already does all this. Just make sure that we pass the right arguments
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Fix LP: #613049 - Default website link in Maverick firefox is invalid
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu_bookmarks.patch
  * Refresh favicon's in the default bookmark collection, so they display
    the latest Ubuntu branding on a fresh profile
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu_bookmarks.patch
  * Drop the mips-specific binutils build-depend - we don't even build
    on this arch
    - update debian/control
  * Only try to install the crashreporter binary when building with the
    bundled xulrunner library
    - update debian/firefox.install
    - update debian/rules
  * Fix LP: #615889 - Add Ubuntu One bookmark to Firefox fresh install
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu_bookmarks.patch
  * Fix LP: #612185 - Apport leaks the secret name of the Firefox
    profile directory
    - update debian/apport/firefox.py
  * Fix LP: #614190 - Chinese update for firefox.desktop. Thanks to
    Cheng-Chia Tseng and Aron Xu
    - update debian/firefox-final.desktop
  * Fix LP: #559083 - Incomplete Vietnamese translation for items listed
    in desktop main menu. Thanks to Vu Do Quynh for the translations
    - update debian/firefox-final.desktop

  [ Igor Zubarev <email address hidden> ]
  * Fix LP: #569762 - Add Russian translations to desktop files
    - update debian/abrowser.desktop
    - update debian/firefox-final.desktop
