晕，天涯怎么图片都不支持呀，到这里看图片吧：
绝大多数参赛的插件都处于早期实验阶段，但是我们已经看到了他们的强大的新工具和雏形，我们很难决出胜负，但是最终我们商定了如下的名单：
最佳新插件
铅笔（by Dương Thành An）
铅笔这款插件的作用是将firefox3变成一个人人可以用的图表和图形界面原型测试工具，而且同样也是开源的。铅笔作用了firefox3的失量图形支持，可以执行所有的图形渲染和脚本。
TAG标记（by Felipe Tassario Gomes）
这个插件在快速收藏栏里添加了一系列的图标，使你可以只需要点击相应的图标就可以快速的将TAG标签添加到收藏夹中。
便捷TAG（Rémi Szymkowiak）
可以自动的收藏TAG标签，便捷TAG在收藏栏的编辑面板中提供了一系列的相关关键字，这些关键字是通过多种方式提取的。
最佳更新插件
Read it Later（Nate Weiner）
Read it Later将感兴趣的页面保存下来，以便以后阅读。它的特点包括离线阅读、数据同步、以及创建RSS feed。
Tagsifter(Chiisai Tsu)
可翻译为标签筛子，通过标签浏览书签。Firefox3允许你对书签添加标签，但它没有更好的支持使你能够通过它们的TAG标签来浏览书签，Tagsifter尽力做到了。选择一组标签到目录的侧栏，Tagsifter将会为你显示所有相关的标签和书签。
Bookmark Preview (John Marshall)
可翻译为标签预览，在收藏夹管理器中添加了相册视图和缩略图视图。鼠标划过书签即可进行预览。
最佳音乐插件Best Music Add-on
Fire.fm （by Jorge Villalobos and Jose Enrique Bolaños）
直接与网络曲目库last.fm进行存取。如果你想听你喜欢的艺术家的曲目，或者寻找别的艺术家或者曲目，听你朋友喜欢听的歌曲，或者寻找last.fm 上与你有相同口味的网友，你只需要在地址栏中输入简单的几个词语就行了。
向所有为FIREFOX推广作出贡献的朋友们表示感谢。

Extend Firefox 3 has wrapped up and we’re very excited to announce the winners! We received well over 100 entries, representing hundreds of hours of hard work from people around the world.
This contest had an extraordinary group of judges of which we would like to thank, including Dr. Jun Murai, Toby Padilla, Gina Trapani, Brenden Eich, Mike Connor, Mike Beltzner and our sponsors, including Last.fm, ActiveState, and VMWare.
Many of these extensions are in their early stages of experimental development, however we have seen some powerful new tools and prototypes that we are excited to share. It was hard to determine the winners, but at last, here they are.
