I agree that Adblock should be replaced by Adblock Plus. Is Adblock even
being developed/maintained anymore? I know ABP is. However, some
extensions require elevated privilges to install. As well, the Lightning
extension for Thunderbird does not work without installing it from the
repositories, so I'm not sure where to draw the line this. Put
extensions that require modifications to work with Mozilla apps that are
installed from the repos into Synaptic and Ubufox (presumably something
similar will also exist for Thunderbird at some point so that people
will know to use the repo version of Lightning instead of from the
Mozilla site). Or put in common extensions that have been confirmed to
work well with Ubuntu's Firefox?

The only reason I picked up on Adblock and these extensions was with
watching the Month of Screencasts (http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/) in
Miro and they touched on Firefox and adding extensions in this new way.
