During Mozilla Summit last week, we held a contest for all attendees aimed at getting them involved in developing add-ons with the Mozilla Add-ons SDK. We had 17 entries from 15 developers and selected winners in the categories of Useful, Creative, and Fun. Here are the three winning add-ons:<\/p>\n

Most Useful – Copy ShortURL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Author<\/em>: Fred Wenzel
\nDeveloper Description<\/em>: If a page exposes a short URL via a “link rel=canonical” header, fetch it and copy it to the clipboard. If no short URL is found on the page, this add-on creates a short URL via tinyurl and copies it to the clipboard.<\/p>\n

Most Creative – Quakeyfox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Author<\/em>: David McNamara
\nDeveloper Description<\/em>: Once installed, this add-on shakes your browser window when an earthquake occurs anywhere in the world, using live data from the USGS. In case an earthquake doesn’t occur, a widget button is provided to demonstrate the browser window shakiness.<\/p>\n

Most Fun – Too Old for Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Author<\/em>: Christopher Finke
\nDeveloper Description<\/em>: Don’t like that your mom (or dad, or grandma) has joined Facebook and is keeping tabs on you? Just install this Jetpack on her computer and let her decide on her own that she’s too old for Facebook.<\/p>\n
