Sorry, but my first impression after seeing this website is... this sucks! Ditto my reaction after downloading the latest Firefox. The organization of this site really needs help - try using the KISS principle - you'll make more people happy. WHAT happened to add-on themes?

But as a localizer, I am a little annoyed thinking back at the winner extension of year 2008 contest. Pencil is doubtlessly a brilliant extension but... there is NO locale support inside. I mean, no en-US subfolder, every string is hardcoded. Too bad for translators, and low chance to see this extension gain worldwide audience unfortunately. For this year contest, I would like very much this criterium to be mandatory : "Contestant extensions must have a locale subfolder with en-US lang" When Firefox is available for more than 70 languages, I think Mozilla cannot promote/distribute a top extension without locale support.
