ES6

You are going to love those release notes: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/25.0/releasenotes/ (btw, it was released today!)

I started localizing a Firefox fork (namely Flock), then moved on to others things (subtitles, websites, developper documentation). It's been almost 6 years now !

It really depends on the use I have.

For day-to-day use:

• Webmail Notifier
• Pinboard extension
• Chatzilla is all I need

For dev:

• Firebug with different plugins
• SQLite Manager
• and the very excellent OpQuast Desktop !

I use different profiles depending on the use I want to make of my Firefox so that it doesn't get overloaded ;)

The new release cycle is based on a 6-weeks span between each versions. It's closer to the "Release early, release often" philosophy. This way, the users do not need to wait for improvements for a long time and get a fair share of awesome more often!

Even though, Mozilla keeps releasing versions with extended-support period called ESR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Firefox#Extended_Support_Release)

My opinion only, may not reflect Mozilla's take on it.

1) The impact will be enormous as it is currently distributed in areas not yet controlled by other players, and Mozilla already have one strong advantage on its side: the Web! 2) They should be possible, and Mozilla's working on cross-platform open web apps. A recent status check was published here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/10/progress-report-on-cross-platform-open-web-apps/ 3) My favourite app is zMaps because it's always handy to have a good map app! But there are so many other, and I love the "Add to homepage" feature.
