Today we&#8217;re very excited to launch a major update to our add-ons gallery that makes it even easier to spot, save, and share your favorite add-ons.<\/p>\n<h3>A video tour of the new features<\/h3>\n<p><video id=\"collections_video\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/addons\/collections\/Collections%20Screencast.webm\" type=\"video\/webm\"\/><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/addons\/collections\/Collections%20Screencast.theora.ogv\" type=\"video\/ogg\"\/><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/addons\/collections\/Collections%20Screencast.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" data=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/includes\/flash\/playerWithControls.swf?flv=\/serv\/addons\/collections\/Collections%20Screencast.mp4&amp;autoplay=false&amp;msg=Play%20Video\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/includes\/flash\/playerWithControls.swf?flv=\/serv\/addons\/collections\/Collections%20Screencast.mp4&amp;autoplay=false&amp;msg=Play%20Video\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><\/object><\/video><\/p>\n<h3>Mark your favorites and get back to them quickly<\/h3>\n<p>Most people use collections to keep track of their favorite add-ons, so we&#8217;ve made it one click to favorite an add-on from almost anywhere on the site. You&#8217;ll automatically have a private My Favorite Add-ons collection where all of your favorites will be stored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2010\/09\/favorite.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of icons on add-on listings\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Instantly add to your existing collections or create new ones<\/h3>\n<p>Placing an add-on in any other collection is as easy as favoriting: just click the Add to Collection icon and select its destination. If you want to start a new collection for it, you can do that from anywhere now too!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2010\/09\/addtocollection.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of adding to a collection\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Easily follow, share, and manage collections<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly to add-on listings, it&#8217;s now possible to follow, share, and edit collections from anywhere you see them listed in the Collections Directory. We&#8217;ve also made the directory navigation easier to understand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2010\/09\/collection2.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of collection\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>Better collection permissions and URLs<\/h3>\n<p>With more than 64,000 collections created in the last 14 months, it can be difficult to find a unique URL for a new collection that isn&#8217;t already in use. We&#8217;ve changed the URL structure so that all of your collections are under your username and can be called anything you want. Existing owners of collections may want to read our <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/collections-faq\/\">Migration FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy these new features and are working hard on many other improvements over the coming months.
