Firefox 3.0 cannot claim to be lightweight

Thank you for your comments. However, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it. We appreciate your thoughts, but it might make more sense to voice your opinion upstream. One place to try would be the forums at http://forums.mozillazine.org/.

It's a bug on the packaging. That is the description we use.

It's a bug on the description as used in the packaging.

invalid -> new

Agreed firefox isnt lightweight compared to epiphany but light to some other browsers, I agree maybe we can reword this a little bit. I assigned Mozilla bug team to this bug so it can be looked at closer since i dont have Ubuntu pc at hand.

Fixed using a wording derived from the official description:

Description: safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
 Firefox delivers safe, easy web browsing. A familiar user interface,
 enhanced security features including protection from online identity theft,
 and integrated search let you get the most out of the web.

Fabien,
Thanks and i hope your having fun ;)
