New description:
The extension has been broken for a while now. We should have stopped
using /usr/lib/firefox/extensions back in the FF4 or FF5 days. /usr/lib
/firefox-addons/extensions is the canonical location. I'm fairly certain
we can not even bother conditionally installing into
/usr/lib/firefox/extensions on all the releases we care about.
