Ubufox Extension

Nothing anywhere enumerates what it does

Asked by tz

"adds some tweaks" is NOT a specification or description.

After a fair amount of time I've figured out it does something to get apt to install missing add-ons (flash/java/codecs).

But SOMEWHERE, perhaps just in answer to this question, should be an exhaustive list of the features and functions, including why should I turn it on (I DON'T want anything other than flash playing in the browser and can't manage to tell the system to use VLC instead of Totem so I've symlinked totem to vlc and done other hacks).

Which plugins are supported, etc.

So to put it in the form of a question:

What does ubufox do - in detail - which features, functions does it implement, and what parts of firefox does it affect, i.e. what will be different with and without the extension.

I think 'tz' asked a quite sensible question!
I was a bit surprised that this information is not available at the main page..
So, dear 'maintainer' please answer this question.
Regards.

Yes, I have the same question. I don't think they want us to know.

I have no idea why status changed to "answered" without any actual answer.

Is anyone who actually works on the package there?

It may be a documentation bug, but if no one here knows, it is a bug.
