[Bug 220341] [NEW] Unchecking "Firefox" under update check preferences makes it impossible to check again

[André]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Edit->Preferences, click on Advanced and select the Update tab.
2. Uncheck the Firefox checkbox under "Automatically check for updates to".

Result: The Firefox checkbox is greyed out, making it impossible to
revert the change you just performed.

Expected behaviour: The checkbox should be unchecked, but not greyed
out. Or preferably: the Firefox checkbox should be unchecked and greyed
out by default on Ubuntu, since the distribution handles updates to
Firefox.

See the attached screenshot for a visual description of the bug.

This is tested using 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 on an up-to-date daily
build of Hoary as of the 21th of April.
