Mozilla Add-on Collector

Add-on Collections is a new feature of Mozilla’s Add-ons site. From the Mozilla blog:

In November, we launched Fashion Your Firefox, which was a collection of add-ons that we felt were great for a novice user just getting started with customizing their browser. Now, we’d like to take it a step further and let anyone create their own collection of add-ons that can be shared with their friends, posted on blogs, and featured on the Firefox Add-ons website.

Working with Briks, I was the lead developer for the Add-on Collector extension, which allows Firefox users to share and discover add-ons from within the browser. I’m very pleased at the result and the positive feedback that we’ve been getting so far. That people are using it to discover new add-ons is great.
