Months ago i suggested to the community some sort of loadtime and RAM-footprint details for each Add-On, not just the download-size. I'd like to know how much code is added or replaced by an add-on and how much it prolongs the loadtime of firefox/thunderbird on a standard system. Unfortunately, i never received a reaction, maybe you could post here or tell me of a site more relevant for making that suggestion? thanks a lot, blausand Hi Laura,

At the moment, in FF3b3, searching for Interclue (for instance) pops up a theme that happens to support Interclue, and one must click through to the site to get the actual addon.

I just wonder, is it necessary to search across all the languages? When looking up for a name, the search should IMO occur only in the user-selected language. G’Day Laura.
