Title:
  Remove firefox launcher from default gnome-panel

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  With the removal of the help launcher in Maverick (& the Evolution
  launcher in Karmic), the Firefox launcher looks rather out of place in
  the default desktop.

  The presence of the Firefox logo appears to violate user interface
  consistency as everything else in the top panel is monochrome. The
  icon itself takes up more vertical space than any other icon in the
  top panel.

  While Firefox is arguably the most used application among a fairly
  wide representation of users, it is by no means the only commonly used
  app. In fact, a significant minority prefer to use alternate web-
  browsers such as Google Chromium.

  Therefore in order to promote consistency and to not excessively
  promote any one app, I propose the removal of the Firefox launcher
  from the default desktop.
