While upgrading FF2 was removed! I could reinstall it ... but see below.

I'm surprised about Ubuntu's decision, too!

Yes, and it really bothers me! None of my Add-ons works anymore,
sound does not work and after installing FF2---yes, it had to be
reinstalled, because it was removed by the upgrade---the previous
session with about 30 opened webpages with very important research
content couldn't be restored. I'm that displeased with this upgrade
again---previous upgrades took me so much time, too---that I'll
check out Mac OS X now---after 10 ten years of Linux ... As a former
Debian user I was really pleased by the birth of Ubuntu and spread
it where it was possible. But an upgrade shouldn't be that time
consuming for users. YMMV

Best
