I'd like to point out here that several (all?) existing Mozilla extensions in
Fedora repos have mozilla- prefix:
mozilla-adblockplus.noarch : Adblocking extension for Mozilla Firefox
mozilla-noscript.noarch : JavaScript white list extension for Mozilla Firefox

It would be really nice to have uniform packaging guidelines for Mozilla
extensions where one could, among other things, get a sample spec file and
answers to the following questions:
 - how to name the source rpm?
 - how to split files between subpackages if the extension works in
   several different browsers? For example, should there be a -core
   subpackage plus a separate subpackage for each browser? (that's what this
   spec is doing) Or, should we have one package which registers the
   extension for all browsers?
 - how to name subpackages?
 - should subpackages depend on the programs (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.)
   they are extending?

Debian's guidelines are here: http://wiki.debian.org/mozilla-devscripts
They are naming their source package EXTENSIONNAME and binary package as
xul-ext-EXTENSIONNAME

Hicam, perhaps you could come up with short guidelines and run it through
Fedora Packaging Committee first?
