When you think of installing something as a mini application for your browser that adds functionality to your web experience, the term change-around doesn't come to mind. In fact, I don't see how that term captures what Firefox addons do at all. Hopefully this is an April Fools joke?! I’m sorry, but that phrase does not seem to do justice to the extension community.

The name is just ridiculous. I would love to throw some curse words in the previous sentenace. The name sucks badly and will only add to the confusion because most people would still refer to add-ons, extensions, themes and plug-ins.

Now the Vietnamese team is frantically trying to decide between “Phần thay đổi vòng vòng” and “Phần thay quay” (my preference). And in English, “round-downs” or “integrate-intos” or even “apple-πs” would’ve been more intuitive for our typical end users (mathematicians fluent in LaTeX). But I think this change is a Good Thing™. “Add”-ons never added to my available disk space. It’s a pity the localization teams weren’t given advance notice.
