    Package: mozilla-firefox
    Version: 0.9.1-2
    Severity: minor

    Hi.

    There was one file left behind after purging firefox; here is a
    transcript:

    kontryhel% sudo apt-get --purge remove mozilla-firefox

    kontryhel% cat /var/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/installed-extensions.txt theme,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}

    As I really didn't install any extensions, AFAICR, this seems like that
    file should have been deleted.

    Cheers,
    Jan.
