The folks over at I-Hacked.com have written up an article with several “hacks” for Firefox itself.

Can you help me discover more music that I’ll like?
“Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs.”
