If you not see the add-on, you can type in the name of the Add-on directly into the search field.<br \/>\n4) Tap on the add-on you&#8217;d like to install and select Add to Firefox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hear From Our Winners<\/strong><br \/>\nSome of our winners shared their inspiration for developing their add-ons:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe  context of search in mobile is restricted mostly to finding places  around people. I explored this idea to make it easy to search for places  of interest, and also reduce typing. The openness of Mozilla helped me  explore its code, find how certain add-ons are built and helped me  develop this add-on.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; Sriram Ramani, Near Me<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI&#8217;m  very concerned about privacy. I think that this is one of the most  important things that we should be able to control; I don&#8217;t want my  email address to be used and sold by a third-party. I wrote \u2018Less Spam,  Please\u2019 for Firefox and for my personal use. \u00a0I realized that a  smartphone contains most of our digital life and is more sensible than  anything else.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Benoit Bailleux, Less Spam, Please<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTyping  passwords on mobile devices is terrible. If you have even a reasonably  strong password, it can take more than a few seconds to type it out on a  phone\u2019s keypad or on-screen keyboard. In this day and age, that\u2019s time  you just don\u2019t have! \u00a0Tapsure is an extension for Firefox for mobile  that alleviates this problem by allowing you to input passwords on  websites by tapping a rhythm on your touchscreen rather than hunting  through the device\u2019s keyboard.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; Chris Finke, Tapsure<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to all of those who took the time to enter the Mobile Add-ons Cup!
