It takes me 5 seconds to get the list of actual extensions (rpm -qa | grep ^firefox-) and further 60 ones to install them on a remote host (ssh ... 'xargs yum upgrade -y'). I am in doubt that you can open firefox in this time and find the correct download side for the extension in the google search results. And this for 15 extensions... >> Security is another issue; I trust an rpm package from an official >> repository more than a lousy, unsigned xpi from an ip-only webpage >> (e.g. TBP). > > Trust and security are different.
