<dd>Before Remora, add-on pages identified the application (Thunderbird, Firefox, etc.).  Suggest this could be used to let the download counter identify the application, so separate counts are kept for each application.  (The "most popular" pages are meaningless if the counts are not per-application, since some add-ons install in multiple applications, so the result is the most popular list for a non-Firefox application such as Thunderbird is dominated by the Firefox users download count regardless of whether Thunderbird users find those add-ons useful in Thunderbird.)

Before Remora, each add-on's page identified the user's application-to-be-extended in the URL (.../thunderbird/220, .../firefox/220, etc.). Suggest this could be used to let the download counter identify the user's application (via the referring page), so separate counts can be kept for each application.
