Re: [GERRIT] moz build fixed on Ubuntu -- was Re: --disable mozilla necessary for Ubuntu

Well I was able to install with mozilla enabled but I am unable to do the
test case of importing the thunderbird address book. The reason is that
it's not listed in my options when I do "other external data source" from
the import wizard, it looks like this is a bug in Ubuntu which is discussed
here, although it's status is unknown -- not even sure if it's been
reported:

http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Libre-Office-and-Thunderbird-Addressbook-td1100175.html

So enabling mozilla basically does nothing for Ubuntu (or Ubuntu derived
distributions).
