[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#827517: xul-ext-ublock-origin: Missing icons in uBlock's popup UI

[Hartmut Buhrmester]

Hello,

I also noticed, that the icons from the extension uBlock Origin are 
missing, if the Debian version of the extension is installed, and I like 
to offer another explanation:

When searching for instances of the Font Awesome, I found a symbolic 
link in the extension uBlock itself:

/usr/share/xul-ext/ublock-origin/css/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf

The symbolic link uses a double redirection to finally point to the real 
font file at:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome/fontawesome-webfont.ttf

Now it seems, that the extension simply doesn't resolve that symbolic 
link. I deleted the symbolic link and replaced it with the original font 
file, and then everything worked fine!

The complete protocol in the terminal looks like:

root at debian:~# cd /usr/share/xul-ext/ublock-origin/css/fonts/
root at debian:/usr/share/xul-ext/ublock-origin/css/fonts# ls -l

This was on Debian testing/Stretch, using the packages:

firefox-esr 45.2.0esr-1
firefox-esr-l10n-de 45.2.0esr-1
xul-ext-ublock-origin 1.7.0+dfsg-1
