It looks like APT is having a fit over your firefox install directory. Try wiping that /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/installed-extensions.txt file that APT is complaining about and try again. You may have to remove the entire ~/mozilla/firefox contents and then re-install the application before attempting to set up the ubuntu-base pkg.
