* It's one thing being told Firefox is great because you can add all these extensions. For a significant number of users the reality is that wide choice is confusing and disencouraging, and that searching through 3 "tabbed browser extensions" wondering which is "the best" or "right for them" is a powerful disincentive. Not how many here think, but many end users will. | |||
* The Firefox forum has a basic FAQ "I want to do X, what extension do I use" page: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=197645 link] | |||
* Users coming to Firefox need to be met on their first use, with a "welcome to Firefox" intro, to be told about extensions (amongst other things), and an easily noticed "find me an extension" access point, because helping people to look for extensions for functions they are used to, and quickly choose the one they want, is crucial to acceptance by a significant part of the market who want it easy and "just to work". | |||
* (In best marketing style, I'd have it, however it's done, always say "People who liked this extension, might also like an extension to do XYZ." To encourage exploration of Firefox's strengths) | |||
