Abrowser in a fresh Trisquel 6.0 installation

I made a fresh Trisquel 6.0 installation a few days ago, but it took me about 5-6 retries before I managed to do it. The problem happens when you try to install the 'trisquel' meta-package (the default desktop environment), which dependes on Abrowser, or Abrowser itself. You end up in a dependency hell, and the installation process fails.
Abrowser for some reason depends on the 'firefox' and the 'firefox-globalmenu' packages, even though I don't see why is that the case.
Before this fresh installation I had Trisquel 6.0 that I upgraded from Trisquel 5.5, and there I didn't have this dependency hell (although I did have another dependency hell unrelated to the issue).
Can someone take a look and remove those broken dependencies? Abrowser is a tool that people depend on a lot (and I'm one of them :) ).
Cheers,
Marko
Is this on 32 or 64 bits?

What happened to me (64 bits, also) was that Abrowser or Firefox was to be installed but the other was installed already; I chrooted to /mnt or whatever it was, uninstalled the (old) installed so that installation step could proceed; and later I had to uninstall the (new) installed and install the old -- so I think it was Abrowser which was installed first, and the installer tried to install Firefox...
Install, install, install...

Abort.
And funny part is that I don't even have Unity installed, but I am supposed to install abrowser-globalmenu, a package for Unity appmenu integration for Abrowser.
I believe this happened because in Toutatis firefox seems to be a real package instead of just a virtual package.
