257961 - uninstall of already uninstalled extension doesn't give correct feedback

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260704

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Uninstalling several extensions when you have enough extensions to overflow and
cause a scrollbar is painful.  After uninstalling the first extesion the focus
moves to the next. This is nice. The first problem arises when the focus shifts
to extensions that are out of view. The list doesn't scroll like it should.  The
second problem is that when you reach the end of the list, the selection moves
up one in the list and so if you're doing a "bulk uninstall" you might not
realize that you're back on one you already uninstalled. The EM offers to
uninstall it again which isn't correct. 

WHen we select an extension below the scrolled view, we should move the scroll.
When we reach the end of the extension list we should stop there or wrap back to
the top, not move back one in the list. When we attempt to uninstall an
extension that's already uninstalled, we should alert the user with "Extension
already set for Uninstall" or something like that.

duping to newer bug which has a patch

(the scroll issue should be a separate bug?)
