+== Extensions Resource Tracking - enhancing comment ==
+''I'm new here. Hopefully this is OK.''
+''This is an addition of a point already present in the list''
+I propose to track both resources usage (memory, cache, time) and healthy statistics per-extension basis, for tuning purposes. Something like the Task Manager but for extensions, so if my FF is poorly responsive, I can track down the culprit extension.
+Additionally, I'd like to know: a) wheather a crash (latest) was caused by an extension (and which one), enabling a crash-counter, and b) track installation date for every extension (more extension data: installation date, latest enabling and disabling, etc).
+Finally, IMHO, a health-checker for extensions would be very useful, for example monitoring errors (as shown in the console). I would like to track what changes I see in my FF that were caused by each extension. Too much? Ok, then, I would like to know what changes an extension is about to do during installation, and optionally enable/disable the 'priviledges' of extensions, so I don't get surprises when installing extensions.
+Hope these comments are useful!
+Daniel.
