For Firefox 2, we added a link to bookmarks.html to get Bookmarks Add-ons, which doesn't do anything special so far. Both en-US occurrences in the URLs http://en-US.add-ons.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/bookmarks/ are replaced with the appropriate locale name in our localizations. Blocking our server-side pages zoo.
Not sure whose hair-brained idea this was, but currently AMO doesn't really have a good landing page for this kind of stuff. My best plan is probably https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?app=firefox&cat=22&type=E&appfilter=firefox&sort=downloads&perpage=10 for use by the testing community, and then once remora (AMO v3) is released we can point it somewhere else that's better. Problem is that the categories system isn't under any sort of control currently, and developers can list their add-on under whatever categories they so desire. The downloads sort _should_ fix that a bit, but it doesn't really (tab mix plus as a bookmarks-related add-on?) Could also do sort=newest, but that doesn't fill me with confidence for the quality of those add-ons. Please don't make us make a "recommended bookmarks add-ons" page by hand :s Oh... and those redirects aren't controlled by AMO, so this is the wrong product (I think...)

This will point at the Remora category browse page for the bookmarks category. Which is one of the reasons that the category/browse mockups look the way they do!
Blocks: remora
This is blocking some FF2 testing - are there any redirects ops can put in place to allow testers to continue? ETA to the final content?
