When add-ons are featured<\/a>, 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<\/a>, we will also begin to feature complete themes<\/a>!<\/strong> A fresh batch of complete themes will be chosen once a quarter, and featured extensions will continue to be chosen every month.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can be involved in deciding which add-ons are featured:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Become a member of the featured add-ons board<\/a>. 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.<\/li>\n
  2. Send an email to amo-featured@mozilla.org<\/a> with your suggestion, and it will be added to the board’s consideration list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Downloads of our picks-of-the-month consistently double during the month they are featured, so your votes really make a difference!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
