Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1 The attached patch has the postinst use update-notifier to tell the user they need to restart firefox after an upgrade/reinstallation.
There is a relevant bug report in Malone https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/36739 but it's not hugely informative. Note that you might not want to apply this patch as-is because we've removed the `echo' giving the same instructions. Or you might prefer to do this via a debconf notification.
