I wouldn't remove ubuntu-desktop, it won't break anything (at the moment), it's not really a program/package as such, it's a meta package that holds the, err, structure, of what Ubuntu looks like together. Removing it won't hurt anything, but as upgrades happen, things may start to get messy...
Just - sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support and it'll be OK... Ubufox just tailor FF to Ubuntu, it works with FF2 just fine. Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
