Great, that fixed my problem. I did, however, have to follow Grafter's advice in the other thread and use:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mozilla-firefox_1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mozilla-firefox-gnome-support_1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

worked fine for me!

I've just upgraded to breezy, and firefox broke me there too! But it wasn't the only problem, so maybe in a couple of days I'll try again. Sure hope the firefox upgrading issue gets resolved it's been around for a while now.

worked for me as well.
