https://launchpad.net/ubufox is for very old versions

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1249  is still not up to the mark

karmic in particular uses a separate package for firefox support.

Notifications are done with http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/firefox-notify

Session-restore is usually ok, but automatic restart is not being user-friendly
