After the outpouring of feedback to our announcement post, we&#8217;ve decided to reverse the name change and go back to &#8220;add-ons&#8221;. An additional factor in making this decision was that it&#8217;s no longer April Fool&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>As a few commenters noted, we would never really make a decision this big without having a discussion in the community first, as add-ons touch so many parts of the Mozilla platform.<\/p>\n<p>So, why&#8217;d we do an April Fool&#8217;s joke on AMO this year?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We wanted to have some fun and give the site some personality. A change like this can add some excitement to an otherwise routine task for people that visit AMO often.<\/li>\n<li>We hoped people would share the site with their friends, pointing out the April Fool&#8217;s joke and increasing exposure to Firefox add-ons.<\/li>\n<li>We wanted to draw attention to this blog, so that people would know it exists and is a great resource for finding out about our non-made-up plans for AMO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We wanted to do something that wasn&#8217;t too over-the-top &#8212; something that many people wouldn&#8217;t even notice, but would be a little humorous to those that did. And we wanted something simple to implement so we wouldn&#8217;t waste time that could be used for all of our planned improvements over the next few months (find-and-replace made this change very easy!). I&#8217;m planning on publishing an analysis in a few weeks about the effects of this change, if any, that were seen in traffic, add-on downloads, and other metrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, we announced that we were renaming Firefox Add-ons to Firefox Change-arounds.
