Changelog
firefox (1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
Changes since 1.5.dfsg-4ubuntu6:
* New upstream version (1.5.0.1) - security and stability fixes,
allegedly. (About 7000 lines of diff, so not reviewed for Ubuntu.)
* Fix Norwegian translation in .desktop file. (Malone #30603.)
* mkdir /usr/include/mozilla in firefox-dev.preinst to avoid
maintainer script sometimes preventing installation.
* Move the shlibs needed for gtkmozembed to /usr/lib (avoids
need for rpath and nonsense in firefox-gtkmozembed.pc).
* Work around new GNU make braindamage by adding seddery to
security/coreconf/rules.mk.
Expected-permanent differences between Ubuntu and Debian:
* Build nspr and nss for use by all other programs in the distribution
(Packages: libnspr-dev, libnss-dev, libnspr4, libnss3. Fairly main
changes to parts of the build system.) This is so that mozilla
can be in Ubuntu universe.
* Disable xprint. (xprint is not used in Ubuntu.)
* Slightly different arrangements do with with transitional arrangements
related to package renaming from mozilla-firefox-*.
* Removed transitional packages mozilla-firefox-dom-inspector and
mozilla-firefox-gnome-support (not needed in Ubuntu).
* Build firefox-dev; applications which embed a browser in Ubuntu
generally embed Firefox rather than mozilla. This also means that we
build firefox with dynamic linking so that embedders and load ff.
* Debian package search replaced by Ubuntu package search (and defaults
to searching only in dapper, not all releases).
* Changes to various icons (and their installation paths).
* Strip CUPS/ from the front of displayed printer names, since
all printing in Ubuntu is done via CUPS.
Other differences remaining between Ubuntu and Debian:
* debian/rules clean removes various junk left over by the mozilla build
system. (Debian #350616.)
* Exclude libssl3.so from dpkg_shlibdeps as this triggers a bug in
fakeroot on amd64 in Ubuntu.
* Set FIREFOX_DSP=none by default. Will sometimes break sound from eg
Flash. See https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29760 for rationale.
(Debian maintainers notified but no bug filed.)
* Append our plugin path to any previous value of MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH.
(Malone 29412. Debian #351806)
* firefox.desktop file has more translations and consistently calls the
application `Firefox Web Browser' (for better UI in the menus - this
change is also in firefox.menu). Debian #351807.
* Default printing command doesn't break if printer name contains
spaces (actually a preference, in all.js). (Debian #351809,
Mozilla Bugzilla #326245).
* security/coreconf/rules.mk adjusted with awful seddery to cope with
GNU make change to POSIXly interpretation of backslash line-joining.
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/12/msg00988.html.
Mozilla Bugzilla #325148.
* security/coreconf/ruleset.mk has a set -e added.
* Use GNOME mime database instead of mailcap. Patch imported from Red
Hat; see debian/gnome-mime-handling.diff.
* Change various preferences:
- Ubuntu-specific default homepage
- Ubuntu-specific release notes
- default homepage can be locale-specific
- middlebutton paste disabled
- do not load a special home page on first start after an upgrade
- disable File / Import (wizard is nonfunctional).
Malone #28563, Debian #350599, Mozilla Bugzilla 117844.
- save files to Desktop by default
- README.Ubuntu file (still rather full of junk)
- Prevent websites disabling the right-button context menu.
- Default font for display is sans, but:
- Default CSS for printing uses a serif font.

* The "those Ubuntu guys are great after all" release.
* New upstream release. (Closes: #351442)
[ Mike Hommey ]
* debian/presubj: Added indications to try to reproduce without extensions
before actually filing a bug, and a hint to the safe mode.

alternative. Thanks Loïc Minier. (Closes: #350788)

* debian/firefox.preinst: Check md5sum's of old conffiles before cp'ing
