</I>Well, as there are mostly no bigger changes like in %files, can't an update of
those addons
be scripted or automated halfway? So someone just needs to push this prior to a
Firefox update?
Not saying i have an opinion pro or against packaged addons, but it is really a
nuisance
as those who do the Firefox update also need to update all those addons, which
is unfair,
seems to me if it's not the importer/maintainer of those addons who does the
update.
