+Which extionsion a user wants to instaall should be left to the user's
+decision. Make the install easy but do not install any extensions by
+default. I've never used those extensions, except the developper bar.
+Somebody told me to install Adblock and whatever, I did and FF became

+Maybe because I do not visit many sites with large ads and all that
+bling-bling stuff.
+
+Anyhow, as a rule do not add any stuff by default that the user ought
+to decide for himself, this is not Windows. We should not tell the
+user what he wants to do.
