Help us select featured add-ons!

5

When add-ons are featured, they gain visibility and downloads; the developers are rewarded for their efforts, and users are assured the add-ons are vetted and useful. Starting this Spring, in addition to featuring extensions, we will also begin to feature complete themes! A fresh batch of complete themes will be chosen once a quarter, and featured extensions will continue to be chosen every month.

Here’s how you can be involved in deciding which add-ons are featured:

  1. Become a member of the featured add-ons board. The board is made up of add-on developers and fans, and is responsible for nominating and selecting featured add-ons. Each term lasts for six months, and a call for applications for the next board will go out in May.
  2. Send an email to amo-featured@mozilla.org with your suggestion, and it will be added to the board’s consideration list.

Downloads of our picks-of-the-month consistently double during the month they are featured, so your votes really make a difference!

      Have you heard about Firefoxmania? It’s very convenient for people in Cuba and they also list top add-ons.

    I submitted 2 add-ons to this mail address in the wish they’ll be recommended someday : never had any feedback.

      We’re reworking the program, so hopefully we will be more responsive in the future. If you still want to nominate those add-ons, please send your request again.

    Basically it’s a good idea to let users help decide, but sending an email seems not the best practice if you ask me. How do you feel about setting up an voting system?
