Mozilla Add-on Collections for Firefox
Mozilla has announced the release of Add-on Collections, groups of add-ons that all relate to a particular topic. Subscribers to an Add-on Collection are automatically notified when new modules are published to the collection. Users can follow the collections by clicking the "Add to favorites" button, subscribing to the collections RSS feed, or by using the Add-on Collector extension from Mozilla. Each user can also publish their own collection and recommendations for individual extensions. Mozilla examples of Collections pages include the Web Developer's Toolbox and Reference Desk.
In addition, Mozilla recently launched two new web pages for the upcoming Firefox 3.5 release. The hacks.mozilla.org site shows developers some practical examples of how to use new browser features and provides web design tips. A new Fastest Firefox PR stunt page promotes Firefox performance by letting users submit short videos of themselves performing their "speediest skill", such as stacking paper cups, or drinking a glass of water.
