Re: Looks good!

and why did you think you'd find bugs related to 3rd party extensions in the mozilla bug database?

The trouble with Firefox extensions is that they've given full access to the browser, but are generally only written and maintained by one person. Often someone with very little experience.
They just don't have the same level of QA as the browser itself.

Obviously there are exceptions, but the Firefox extension mechanism opens itself up for a whole lot of half arsed buggy, insecure extensions.
