I just went to see what Firefox extensions had been updated today and noticed that the Firefox Add-ons page received a drastic redesign. I think this confirms my thought that Mozilla will be providing a refreshed Firefox homepage when they launch it.
I think the new design adopts the Web 2.0 theme that can be found all over the Internet, but I actually prefer the old look a little more. I don’t completely understand the motorcycle located in the header but it does look like there’s a Firefox logo on the seat. Now I’m curious what is going to happen with the Firefox homepage. Maybe we’ll get some pink ponies? 
What does everyone else think of the new design?

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.
I don’t like the chopper either. Although, nice refresh.
Firefox 2 released!!! The main Firefox webpage is refreshed!!!
Wow, I love it!
I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in thinking the chopper is a little awkward.
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…
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, …).
