Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008020112 Minefield/3.0b3pre ID:2008020112 With the new integrated add-ons UI, the list of recommended add-ons seems to be retrieved from the AMO server rather frequently. This both takes the user's time, and uses AMO bandwidth.. I don't know how often the list of recommended updates is updated, nor do I know the mechanism by which add-ons are added to/removed from the list (is it automated or a human decision) but I was thinking maybe we should cache the list and have it update itself once a day/week/whatever. (The caching would work both if there was a small list of recommended extensions that were always shown, or a large list of recommended extensions that Firefox randomly chose a subset from when displaying its list.)

See also bug 367626 - Extension updates are not cached (affecting extension developers).

We no longer use teh recommended lists.

(In reply to comment #2) > We no longer use teh recommended lists. IMO that would make the bug invalid. Updating status.
