I have suggested a button for the add-ons and applications, that need to be summoned quickly and often. Once you press that:

The apps and add-ons open up on another panel. If one has many add-ons, they can start typing the name and the relevant results will begin to show up on the first row. On clicking on one of the icons of the add-ons, the panel disappears and the application is opened, wherever and however it is meant to be opened.
My next steps would be to upload these mock-ups on the bug page, get Madhava's approval on it and about what happens next. Also need to discuss a few other bugs and UX issues with him or Vivien and follow similar suggestion-through-mock-ups procedure until I'm happy that the UX of Fennec is or going to be awesome ;)
For eg. I have rough ideas about how tabs could operate, been noticing some other bugs etc.
Do give me feedback on the add-ons panel and if I'm missing a point somewhere.

Anusha, you should submit your mockup to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496654 and ask madhava review !
