* Search algorithm is improvable: The binary matching creates many hits with the same score in spite of their obviously different relevance.

* "find similar add-ons" sometimes shows different categories with the same name?  ([http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/display/398 example])

* I don't see how the user is expected to find, say, Thunderbird extensions. AMO2 was too Firefox-centric, AMO3 seems even worse. http://www.erweiterungen.de/ does this better.
** answer from cameleon: I fill the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367574 Bug 367574] – Ability to filter search of an Add-ons by application (Firefox or Thunderbird) on bugzilla about this problem.

* On an [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/display/138 Extension(or Theme)'s page], you have the Extension Name followed by Version# on the same line (good to see it back, thanks - v2 was not good). Further down the page you have Version# and timestamp, which is thus partially redundant & a waste of space. Suggestion: go back to something closer to v1's implementation ([http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9222/amoextensionspage2oldlo0.jpg screenshot]) which put it all at the top. Clean it up a little by putting the 'released on..' on its own line.

== Yoko's comments ==
* The plugins must be selected by UA of browser (linux's users not see the Windows plugins) as for the official Firefox web page.
* The thunderbird's and nvu's extensions are not very easy to find.
* I think that it's will good to multiply the section of extension. By exemple the developer tools's extensions can to be split in "PHP extension", "javascript extension", "webmaster extension", etc

Overall it's looking good! Here are my comments:

* Adblock got featured on the front page for one page load, but the preview image just says "1145".


* The little orange arrow in the green "install now" link looks too much like a UI element, implying a dropdown menu there.

* "Mozilla is providing links to these applications as a courtesy, and makes no representations regarding the applications or any information related there to." Given the legalese disclaimer, is "We Recommend" ok to say? The disclaimer in the footer also seems to be forced to 3 centered lines. Can this be flowed like normal text, non-centered, so it doesn't take up so much space?

* The [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse Browse] page linked from the right-hand navigation bar seems awkward. It only lists extensions and themes; no dictionaries, plugins, or search engines. But still, "Browse" seems a misfitting title for this page, since I'm not able to browse anything. Maybe "Other Addons" or "More Addons", since it's in proximity to "Recommended Addons"?


* Can "Recommended Addons" be things other than extensions? If so, things at this level should be identified as to why type of addon they are.

* If no discussions exist for an addon, don't show "See all discussions (0)". Just make it a single link (ala my previous reviews comment)

* When viewing discussions, there should be a note that you need to log in to add a new comment/topic.
* Add a pony.

* Nice effect with the animation to show a review's content, but that makes it inconsistent with clicking on a discussion topic (which doesn't animate to show the topic's body, but takes you to a new page). The review text should just be shown by default (subject not linkified for animation), probably trimmed (with an appended "more" link that animates to show the rest?) so that long reviews don't take up more than a few lines by default.
Hmm, I guess that's enough comments for now! :-)

* [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/de/discussions/post.php?AddOnID=138 New discussion page]: Drop down too small (because only one choice) and forum title string not yet translated
* If plugin list gets filtered by used OS, add the possibility to show all (for downloading possibility).

* Maybe add the two ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3682/ 1], [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3698/ 2]) extensions which are able to convert input fields to search engines to the search engines home page - it's faster than writing the search plugin on his own.

* The +/- makes no sense unless there is a difference in size for the two views. Why should I have to click the + to see a screenshot instead of a blank space? The idea of folding the items is great, but when they are folded, they should take up much less space. Two lines max.

* Discussions section seems to need a little care to make it melt into the rest of the side.
* When trying to log in, I get a white screen with the text "Please confirm your account". It disappears quickly. Please make it prettier and maybe put a link "resend confirmation mail"
* Sending confirmation mails for creating new accounts does not work.
I miss some l10n docs.
* Will it be possible to change the list of recommended addons?
* Will the search engine list be a full list like mycroft or a recommended list like on current AMO? If it is a recommended list, it should be localizable. The list at AMO right now is somewhat US centric.

* How is translation of addon descriptions going to work? Please make sure it is possible to integrate it with localizing the addon itself. Maybe integrate it into babelzilla.
