I used to work on a product called PicLens; it’s a real snazzy Firefox plugin that provides a 3D wall-ish view of photo albums online (and more). I think they’ve solved a tough problem about Firefox plugins: authorizing the install. Check out the site, click Download, and watch the animation on top. I think even someone who didn’t know what a Firefox extension is at all could install it.

It’s nice that Firefox 3 streamlined the process of installing an extension. Before that, you had to manually whitelist the site, requiring several steps.
