It would be great to see a way to easily export all installed extensions (with their preferences) so that a user can easily have the same setup on different computers without having to locate and reinstall the extensions. | It would be great to see a way to easily export all installed extensions (with their preferences) so that a user can easily have the same setup on different computers without having to locate and reinstall the extensions. | ||

Browser behaviour is set in one convenient place, the options menu. Extensions change the browser behaviour, and/or add functionalities to it. From a user's point of view, extensions extend options available for the browser, and any distinction between these two interaction points are irrelevant. My recommendation would be to | |||
# add a tab to the options window, listing installed options. | |||
# provide "hooks" for extensions in the regular options panel noticing the user when an installed extension combines with regular behaviour in the tab settings currently being viewed. (e.g. tab modifier, download manager, etc...) | |||

Addressing another issue: if restarting the browser is necessary to register changes in extension list, providing a way of doing so while preserving the browser window/s in their pre-reload state would be convenient and user-friendly. What would you think of, upon closing the extension/option menu window with unregistered changes, an alert box reading like so:<br> | |||
''You need to restart the browser to take changes into account. Restore opened tabs and windows after reloading? (will not affect your starting page etc.)''<br> | |||
