4) One more issue is that for most users it's not obvious that the UI can be used to install new exensions; this is because the current UI doesn't adequately differentiate between configuring existing addons, and finding new addons to install. It would be preferable if MM clearly distingushed between the separate workflows for:
a) Configuring / Updating installed extensions
b) Finding/Installing new extensions

The simplest approach might be to have 2 Tabs:
Installed | More addons...

The content for each of the tabs could be:
Installed
Show: All, [User-installed], Configurable
...

More addons:
Show: all search categories other than those above . . . . . Search:
...
