Yes, it would be nice ... except there are so many addons to package (and
some bugs which make it difficult to package Mozilla extensions as Fedora
packages ... I cannot find them ATM in
bugzilla.mozilla.org, but they are
there). Observing a problems with maintaining only few Firefox addons we
have already packaged for Fedora, doesn't give me much hope we can package a
reasonable majority of addons Fedora users have installed.
We don't even have a package installation gui that does not suck i.e
is usable for most users.
Going to a website and click "install this addon" is way easier from a
users pov.
