Given what I see for your add-ons, they are very generic and solve problems that others have solved in other ways. Not trying to sound harsh, but your product probably isn't compelling enough for most folks to pay for because they can get it elsewhere for free, or there are similar things to get (e.g. RSS readers, Twitter posters).

You haven't really cornered your niche, although you probably have some nice functionality for those add-ons. In order to get people to part with their cash you need to:

a) scratch their particular itch and do it well b) not have anyone else scratching it, or scratching it poorly if they do

You've still got 360K eyeballs, maybe you need to find a different itch.
