Constructive Comment
----------------------------------

1. Ubuntu needs to use abrowser as the default browser (call it Web Browser).
Important: create a nice warm Icon for it in Ubuntu colours.

2. Add Firefox as an optional package.

Everyone is happy :)

No intrusive EULA.
No inappropriate trade mark use of the Firefox brand.
Any new user who would be impressed by Firefox being an option can install it.

Put in a short explanation that "Web Browser" is based on Firefox but as Ubuntu alters the code slightly that it cannot use the firefox name or logo which is trademarked.

-------------------
Note:
I have been a Firefox evangelical for years and love the browser and the ideas behind it.
I am worried about the more "Corporate" stance of Mozilla lately - I hope they don't forget who they are.
