The document discusses Mozilla's Add-ons Universe and the growth of add-ons on the Mozilla Add-ons website (AMO). Some key points include: AMO has seen over 1.5 billion add-ons downloaded, with over 167 million in use and 4.5 million registered users; on average each Firefox user has 5 add-ons installed; and future plans for AMO include a redesigned add-ons manager, migration to the Django framework, improved statistics, and potentially an add-on store.

23. Add-on Store
Finding a Business Model for add-ons is hard. Typically needs
to be backed by a compelling Web Service. Hobbyist add-on
authors and companies alike deserve a chance to make a few
dollars.
