Comment 5 for bug 263381

Confirming as well, on up-to-date (security, updates, backports, proposed), Ubuntu 8.10.

Clicked on the 1st one, english.
Told firefox it was ok to use purple-url-handler.
Apport reported problem, which led me here.

This is the first time I have ever tried running anything related to IRC...not a great first impression.
[Too many bad first impressions...luckily I am a fairly advanced user or I would have switched back to Windows about 3 days after 8.10 was released. :)]

Keep up the good work guys!
