Bug Description

According to bug #155378 and upstream (http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/tabextensions/old_index.html.en) version 2 of tabextensions is for Firefox 1.5 only, which isn't in Ubuntu since Edgy. Additionally, tabextension has a open bug with severity "important" in Debian (#191303), which hasn't had any activity since 2003.

I think that tabextensions should either be updated to it's latest version (3), which is for Firefox 2, or be dropped from the repositories.

If you are interested in this extension see bug #208777, which is about packaging tabextensions3 (with a new source package, as it seems more like a rewrite of version 2).
