irefox is my weapon of choice when it comes to browsing the web. It’s fast, free, and gives the user the best feature ever: Choice.

The beauty of the Firefox extension is that it allows you to add a specific feature or function, fully customizing your browsing experience. For someone wanting to make the most of their online time, this is a huge opportunity. There are limitless ways to tailor your browsing with Firefox extensions.

Thanks for the info and the useful representation.

Could you say a little more about what you mean by “usage” when you say “sized by usage”? Is this a total download count, or is this based on data coming from AMO based on update pings? Is this at all weighted for recency (giving greater weight to usage this year than say two years ago, for example)?

I was looking for the information on how to hack a non-working ff2 extension to make it work in ff3, it was something simple like opening it in a text editor and changing one line, anyone can post a link to that page?

I’m confused. There are only ~750 extensions listed on that chart and there are vastly more than 750 extensions on AMO, so how can it be 95% of them? Perhaps it’s the case that these extensions account for 95% of total extension installs? And when you say they are ranked by “usage” does that include addons that are disabled or just the ones that are active?
