Hi Sandy,

thanks for your help, i still couldnt get rid of the issue after following your instruction i get the following error

hari@hari-LifeBook-V1020:~$ sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-firefox-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
firefox-globalmenu : Depends: firefox (= 20.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
hari@hari-LifeBook-V1020:~$ ^C
