==Focus on Tasks rather than Addons== | |||
Addons are one of the biggest benefits of using Firefox over other browsers. While other browsers are beginning to offer addons and develop communities around them, none of them yet come close to approaching the diversity and scale of Mozilla's addons community. However, only about 30% of Firefox users currently have any addons installed. | |||
While getting every Firefox user to install addons is not the goal, making them more accessible to more users would benefit both users and developers. A common criticism of the current addons manager is that it is easy to find an addon by name, but less so by functionality. This redesign will seek ways for users to find addons based on how they browse or functionality they want rather than only by addon type. | |||
