Hello Desktop Team,

unity-firefox-extension does not comply with upstream add-on policy
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Add-on_guidelines)
which does not permit automatic installation of an add-on into Firefox
which the aforementioned Ubuntu package does.

I have raised a request upstream to add unity-firefox-extension to
Blocklisting, and part of that process is to reach out to the vendor
or developer responsible for the add-on to ask them to fix the add-on
to bring it into the scope of upstream guidelines.


https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-firefox-extension/+bug/1238470


Thanks,

Benjamin Kerensa
