User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When publishing extensions with JavaScript as described here
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/extensions/web-api.html, a friendly name
and a nice icon appears.

This does not work on update.mozilla.org/extensions.

I suggest the installer uses the friendly name and icon as is described in the
install.rdf.

Advantages:
1) installing an extension is friendlier, even on update.mozilla.org
2) extension authors don't have to make their webpages more complicated than
neccesary.

(I guess the whole point of putting all this information in the install.rdf file
is to provide all this. Why isn't it used [install.rdf is parsed anyway]?).
