Bug description:
In Mint 8 Helena, enabling the firewall by clicking the Enabled button in the Firewall dialog creates a very odd set of default rules that over-cautiously blocks input packets with no allowance being made for RELATED,EXISTING connections. This is undesirable and has several consequences - for example, it completely breaks mintUpdate which can no longer receive data from Canonical's servers on port 80:
