I think an unhandled db_go -> 30 might be a bug in the package,
actually, not the debconf. The cases that (used to?) require fix_db.pl
are normally db_input returning 10 and saying that a template is missing
when it really is there.
That said, I have no idea why db_go is returning 30 when the backup
capability wasn't set.
A bug report against mozilla-browser may be in order. Include the output
from an attempted installation with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer set in the
environment.
