The Nautilus extension introduced in PR basecamp#435 had a bug where it used a blocking os.system() call, causing the context menu to freeze until Alacritty was closed. PR basecamp#559 removed the extension from the install script but did not clean up the already-installed file for existing users. This migration removes the orphaned extension file and restarts Nautilus to apply the changes. Fixes: context menu freeze when using "Open in Alacritty" Related: basecamp#435, basecamp#559
