Mozilla introduced add-ons to the Web in 2004 with the Firefox Add-ons Gallery<\/a> and first brought them to phones in 2009 as a way for you to customize the features, functionality and look of your Web experience to make Firefox truly your own. Firefox Add-ons enable you to customize the features, functionality and look of your Web experience. With add-ons, you can personalize Firefox to fit your needs and interests in music, games, entertainment, sports, appearance, language support and more.<\/p>\n

More than 85 percent of Firefox users<\/a> have at least one add-on installed and of those people with add-ons installed, they have an average of five add-ons. The most popular add-ons include AdBlock Plus, Firebug, NoScript, Personas Plus and Video DownloadHelper. Most popular categories include privacy and security, search tools, bookmarks and themes.<\/p>\n

There are more than 150,000 user-created collections of Firefox Add-ons<\/a> to choose from, including Family Organizer, Traveler\u2019s Pack, Sports Fanatic, The Paranoid Kit, Web Developer\u2019s Toolbox and Online Shopping.<\/p>\n

This amazing milestone was made possible by the hundreds of millions of Firefox users and more than 25,000 Firefox Add-ons developers around the globe. To thank you, we wanted to share the below infographic for a snapshot of Firefox Add-ons statistics and milestones.<\/p>\n

Thank you! We hope you continue to enjoy using Firefox!<\/p>\n

* This number includes only downloads from the Firefox Add-ons Gallery<\/a> and does not include themes.<\/em><\/p>\n
