Bug Description

When accessing the Extensions settings in Firefox, the user is exposed to the following addons provided by Canonical:

- Global Menu Bar integration...
- Ubuntu Firefox Modifications...
- Ubuntu Desktop Integration...
- Unity Websites integration...

Despite in some cases the word "integration" might not be needed (e.g.: Unity Websites could mention the dependency to Unity Desktop Integration in the missing description) in some cases is uppercase and in others lowercase.

Checking the top extensions, they basically all use capital letter for all the words contained in the title but articles. Hence my recommendation is:

- Ubuntu Menu Bar...
- Ubuntu Firefox Modifications...
- Ubuntu Desktop Integration...
- Ubuntu Websites...

Any thoughts?

I agree with "Ubuntu Menu Bar".

"Ubuntu Firefox Modification" would not be an improvement on "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications". Both names are poor, and the extension has no description. This is an example of how to annotate your extension if you want people to uninstall it. (Bug 123713 was the equivalent problem in the description of the package itself.)

I can't tell what "Ubuntu Desktop Integration" or "Unity Websites Integration"/"Ubuntu Websites" would be for -- they are similarly vague, and those extensions haven't been installed in my Ubuntu Q installation.

My mistake about missing the plural in "Modification", I meant "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications". Yep, all extensions SHOULD have descriptions!
