The development team seems to have increased the size of the fonts quite a bit which makes everything more readable on the website. Probably the most important aspect of the update is the introduction of collections. Collections are basically lists of Firefox add-ons that can be created by Firefox users.

A lot of collections are already available like the Web Developer’s Toolbox, Traveler’s Pack or Family Organizer. Each collection includes a number of add-ons which can be installed at once. This can be very helpful in certain situations like configuring a new computer system for relatives, friends or colleagues. It has to be noted that the add-ons that are stored in collections will come with the default options enabled. This is different from programs like Febe which can not only backup the extensions but also the preferences of these extensions.

Every user may create a custom collection that is then listed on the Mozilla website along with all the other collections that are available. This can be an interesting tool for website owners to offer an extension collection to their website’s visitors. The add-on collector extension has been created to make the collection creation easier.

I have created the Ghacks.net collection which basically consists of a few add-ons that I use on a day to day basis. I’m open to suggestions on additional extension that should be added to the collection. It is possible to add users to the collection to make it a group project.
