Searching through massive amounts of add-ons is a little annoying. I always want to know how big the app is and how much of a memory drag I'll get. Now I have to download the app for size and then search engine the app to see if there a heavy memory drag. Today I searched for a Firefox screenshot add-on. The first one was 2.4mb the second was 414kb, that's a big difference. Then after searching for memory I've found problems.

Could this info be added to the snippets.

Thanks

The difference between 2mb and 200kb in a modern computer is pretty meaningless. Memory usage will vary based on your individual install.

Regardless, the version information shows the size, down at the bottom of the page, you see a section called "version information", click that, and you see the file size.
