Thanks for the info. Actually is there any reason why Fedora packager would
need to modify the original extension?
That depends on the extension and its particulars. For example,
adblock plus has an extortion-like scheme in place and it allows
certain ads from certain companies that have paid them good money for
their service. This patch blocks those ads as well:

I didn't care to check if such a modification is permitted by their TOS.
Hm, is such change actually allowed by AddBlock authors? It looks a bit
controversial to me. The extension signing may also help users to make
sure they have the original extensions from their authors.
