[firefox-extension-privacybadger] Requires blacklisted firefox

Description
So it should either be removed, or replaced with liberated package for iceweasel
.
I wonder if the alternative can be just to add provides=("firefox") to the PKGBUILD of iceweasel
. Not sure though about negative implications of this, and also if it's acceptable by Parabola standards for package name to mention the blacklisted package.

$ sudo pacman -S firefox-extension-privacybadger resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "firefox", a dependency of "firefox-extension-privacybadger" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: firefox-extension-privacybadger $ pacman -Sg firefox-addons firefox-addons firefox-extension-privacybadger
seeing as this is in a group named 'firefox-addons' there will presumably be more add-ons added soon
the simplest solution is to make 'iceweasel' to provides('firefox') or else all packages added to this group are going to need to be blacklisted or re-packaged for no reason other than changing the package name
