Comments on: Mozilla Firefox Add-ons Page Gets A Nice Facelift

The logo doesn’t strike me as Firefoxish. Even though I get the “Freeride” message.

What I don’t like is the new Extension site. I used to go into “New extension list” and Only browse through the ones that got the highest scores. It was visibel on the right hand side in the list. Now I have to go into each and every new extension to see their score. I used to keep myself fairly up to date about new and popular extensions. But now I will stop doing that. It will just take too much time.

So what I really want to do is to find the highest rated during the last day/days, and possibly the number of downloads. And please don’t say I have to fill this in Every day or Every time I visit the site, in the Advanced search. It’s just not good enough. And please give me the option to choose between truly new or just updated.

And (a minor thing, but still) the header fonts in the lists are way too big. They shouldn’t be soo much bigger then the left hand side bar (Home, Recommended add ons, …).

How I wished they would return to having the search results in alphabetical order instead of by popularity. Yes, I know I can specify this in the advanced search, but still, wouldn’t it be nice…

I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in thinking the chopper is a little awkward.

I don’t like the chopper either. Although, nice refresh.

I like the refresh, but I don’t like that chopper amidst a yellow cloud. I think that screams for too much attention and is the first thing I saw when I opened the page. If it weren’t there, the page would look very slick. It already does, but not as much as it could.
