Please do not make any extension as default. Even do not paxckage
extensions. A user should decide which extension he/she uses. Also, i
don't understand why extensions packaged. Day by day extensions
updated on upstream. So, packages left behind current versions.

Btw, i noticed that Firefox installed in
/usr/share/firefox-release-number. I don't know how buildsystem works
but when ff updated all extensions must be updated for new install
dir. Doesn't this behaviour brings extra workload?
