[Clippings] clippings 2.0

[Alex Eng]

I found the problem - unless you perform an action in Clippings which
will trigger a data source save, you will lose your Clippings 2.0 data
after first-time migration from Clippings 1.x.  Details on how to
recover from this are in the release notes for Clippings 2.0 that I
just updated.  An emergency update that addresses this problem will be
out shortly.

Given the serious nature of this problem, Clippings 2.0 has been
pulled from Mozilla Addons.
