Here we go again!

Swap:
Evernote
For:
https://marketplace.firefox.com/feed/collection/puzzle-gamesdesktop-essentials?src=desktop-promo
Copy (please note the em dash with no spaces on either side, as it appears on our other collection overlays):
Puzzle Games—Desktop Essentials

Swap:
Sprint Club Nitro
For:
Grooveshark
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/groovesharkdesktop
Copy:
Enjoy more than 15 million songs for free. 

Swap: 
Cut The Rope
For: 
Khan Academy
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/khan-academy
Copy:
A world of education delivered to your desktop.

Swap:
Games & Entertainment Apps—Desktop Essentials
For:
Little Alchemy
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/littlealchemy
Copy:
Play the addicting game of elements. 

Ordering is 1:1, so when new content swaps for old they should retain same ordering (e.g. Evernote is currently the centered featured item, so when Puzzle Games takes its place it will be the centered item).

Thanks!

Stop the presses! We just learned Grooveshark went out of business. So obviously we'll cut their app from this programming update. Here's the new lineup.......

So this means we can leave the “Games & Entertainment Apps” collection in place in the carousel. Thanks!

Looking at https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/khan-academy it appears as though it does not support desktop. Is that correct?

Woah great catch, Mark! The KA dev team must have changed this app's status because we recently put it through our standard desktop app test and it worked great. 

Given time constraints, let's not fill a replacement. I think we can keep Cut The Rope featured for another week, but in terms of carousel placement, can we please swap CTR with the "Games & Ent." collection?
