Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox-adblock

Adblock has no active upstream, is full of bugs (some of which are security issues) and has been deprecated by Adblock Plus, see bug #136619 for more details. So, please remove *source* package "mozilla-firefox-adblock" from Hardy (not the binary, which is already a transitional package build from the ablock-plus source package) and add it to the sync blacklist.

This transition has been already discussed with some members of Ubuntu's Mozilla Team and they agreed that it is necessary.
