By now I've ran more test up to a full system dist-upgrade with all webext* packages installed, not a single failure.

Given that freeze is nearing and nobody's volunteering any additional
information and the bug has proven to be not reproducible, at least for me, I
downgrade it again. Yes, it can be very severe but removing the package for
everyone doesn't seem right either. Maybe by keeping it in we will get more
data to find out where the problem lies.

I'm more than willing to look into it again and fix it once we identify the reason.

Thanks,
Michael
