Eschwartz [1] filed a orphan request for lastpass [2]:

this package does some things that aren't good practice, like using an
install script to copy extensions to the user's home directory with
inaccurate logic. (Note that Firefox supports global extensions
installed in /usr/lib/firefox which is the proper way to do it, as
many other packages do in both the official repos and the AUR.) The
maintainer previously indicated that this was deliberate on the
grounds that the user can then update things outside of pacman or
root... which kind of defeats the purpose of using pacman.

I don't believe Det is at all interested in doing this properly, so it
would be better if someone else took over and fixed it. I would be
happy to do so.
