Perhaps it would make sense to make a proactive search of other packages
in Ubuntu (and Debian) which could be affected.

This tool can be of help:

Bug description:
  When I click a link from an email it does not work any more.

  Instead of opening the link in a new tab, Firefox opens a new empty
  window and does not follow the link.

  If I change the default browser for my desktop from Firefox to Chrome,
  then Chrome can open the link fine.

  I have started seeing this today since firefox was upgraded from v35
  to 36.

  My email client is Mozilla thunderbird at the latest stable version.
