    7 I have no idea why it thinks it can't install that symlink. 
     1The extension has been broken for a while now.  We should have stopped using /usr/lib/firefox/extensions back in the FF4 or FF5 days.  /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions is the canonical location.  I'm fairly certain we can not even bother conditionally installing into /usr/lib/firefox/extensions on all the releases we care about.
