Mohamed, 
Thank you for submitting the bug report. It is clear in my eyes that the current description and title is somewhat confusing. However, ufw is not Ubuntu specific as far as I know. My suggestion would be to change the text firstly from the current name "Firewall Configuration" to something like "gufw - firewall configuration utility" given 'gufw' is the actual name stated in the description. As well as changing the description in the software centre from the current "Allows you to configure ufw firewall" to something like 'Allows you to configure a firewall for your computer." Going to need some feedback on this one...

Gufw's both short and long description are misleading

Bug description:
The Gufw short description in the software center (where it is known as Firewall configuration) is: "Allows you to configure ufw firewall". The end-user does not know what is 'ufw', so this should be changed to "Allows you to configure the system's firewall" or "Allows you to configure Ubuntu's firewall".

As for the long description: "gufw is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Linux firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or individual port(s), and many others!" Here again, gufw should not be mentionned, but the biggest problem is in 'Linux firewall". Since the recent Ubuntu site redesign has completely removed any mention of Linux, the user will be confused about this and may even leave Ubuntu on the basis that "Linux is for geeks". So, this should be changed to: "Firewall configuration is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Ubuntu firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common P2P, or individual port(s), and many others!"
