According to the previous "Weave" page, suggestions should be filed here; I'm not finding an update to this in the Sync pages, so my apologies if this is filed incorrectly.

A useful feature, to my mind, would be a system that allowed the URL's for updating firefox extensions to be stored in the Sync Profile. Then, when a new browser was added to the sync list, all active plugins could be downloaded from those URL's and automatically installed in the new profile.

The user should of course be given the opportunity to not download, or to download but set the extension as disabled when creating the new profile.

Thank you and again apologies if this is the incorrect venue.
