Bug Description

Currently, the extension's description simply reads "Ubuntu Firefox Pack.".
Could someone please copy the feature list from the deb package into [the extension's description field][1] so people can see what it does without having to resort to a search engine?

Currently that would be:
 Adds Ubuntu-specific modifications to Firefox.

 Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
  * Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
  * Add the following options to the Help menu
    - Get help on-line
    - Help translating Firefox
    - Ubuntu Release Notes
  * Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
  * Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
  * Add ask.com to the search engines.

 You can uninstall this if you prefer to use a pristine Firefox install.

Perhaps the last line could also be modified to reference the package containing Ubufox:
 You can uninstall the package 'xul-ext-ubufox' if you prefer to use a pristine Firefox install.

Agreed. From user perspective, the lack of a real description generates wondering...
Ideally this expected description should be as exhaustive as possible as to what the plugin DOES (thus answering people's wondering). And I agree with n.st on the interest of mentioning the name of the package ('xul-ext-ubufox') bringing this Firefox plugin.
Thanks in advance.
