Maybe it would be useful to add a search box to the UI? I personally only ever have 3-4 extensions installed, two of them being WebReporter and DOMi, but I've seen people list 20-30 they have installed. It'd be nice to have a way to search through such a list without scrolling.

Perhaps this would take some development time and excessive server load, but I think it would be cool to create an initial browser configuration on the web site. Before you initially download firefox, you would take a brief survey regarding your preferences for configuration.  The site will then compile an installer package for you with the appropriate settings and extensions included. If you don't like it, you can change things around the old ways or perhaps retake the survey and have your firefox "updated".
MR Tech Local Install. Has everything a power user or a newbie would be. Auto sorts extensions, easily's helps locates extensions. Update Notifier is also a good addon. (However features are unneccesary such as slim mode in local install etc) Look into them.
