BiDi Mail UI plugin for Firefox 25

[E.S. Rosenberg]

IIRC if version compatibility is higher then 4 (or maybe a bit higher,
let's say 10 to be safe), it allows install on all versions and may run
some check routines.
Basically at some point after they switched to the much faster release
cycles they realized that the extensions weren't keeping up so they changed
how that is handled.

Why do you need the BiDi extension, RTL buttons are present even without it
these days....
