You have to look.  A quick google 
http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+firefox+ppa showed 2 good pages.

I was actually talking about making one if there is not one out there. 
My point was that Ubuntu and linux are structured to allow YOU (and any 
other "you") to fix any problems.  You just have to have the will and 
acquire the skill.  This is a serious advantage over "The Market Leader" 
which is what bug 1 is all about.

Bug description:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
