Adblock plus (the > upstream version) works for me. I am talking of our packages, except for the dictionary. It's not packaged and required a manual update for FF 5. Chatzilla standalone was broken (at least) by FF 6 and 7. Our mozilla-adblockplus package was broken twice and I updated it. > >> > So what can we do to improve the situation? > >> > 1.

Indeed, because it stopped working with FF4 without me having changed anything, I incorrectly assumed they were removed. I just looked at the package contents after somebody replied that the language packs still work fine for him. But where should I file a bug? I doubt that Mozilla upstream feels responsible for problems with our packages and I don't think that our FF maintainers will troubleshoot a problem that started with Firefox 4 either. > That just reminds me while packing firefox extensions is not a good idea. How else would you install an extension globally for all users? Regards, Christoph -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
