Thanks, but this project is (was?) for reporting Firefox and Thunderbird bugs. It's not for reporting bugs in random extensions, and we don't support packaged extensions in any case

Hi Chris,

please update the PPA description then as it directs to this project for filing bugs:

https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/xul-ext

> This PPA has extensions ported from Debian since we can no longer maintain them in the archive due to a lack of LTS support for Mozilla releases.

> Please report any bugs to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-ppa-bugs

Thank you bdrung, it works fine now. :)

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that PPA pointed to this project.

I guess that's ok, as we don't really use this for anything else now.
