Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-tabextensions

Why is the "Tabbrowser Extensions" in the repositories and officially recommended within Firefox "Get Ubuntu Addons"? The developer writes himself:
"This extension strongly unrecommended."
"This extension is for Firefox 1.5 or earlier only, so it doesn't work with Firefox 2"
"This extension is strongly unrecommended by Mozilla Foundation."

Thanks for your bug report. I'll soon attach a fix to let tabextensions depend on Firefox 1.5 or earlier to bug #184084.
