The main advantage of bug submissions inside the browser is the ability 
to retrieve a lot of informations automatically that you can't get 
inside a web page context. By exemple, in the extension :
- a screenshot of the page
- the content of the javascript error console
- the uri, the window size, the user agent

All technical datas a normal user don't know.

The main reason is to get a better web by catching better feedback.
