Site launch: Affiliates 2.0!

We just launched a redesigned website for Firefox Affiliates — check it out!

  • Updated the pages to a beautiful take on Mozilla’s Sandstone theme
  • Added an affiliate leaderboard
  • Added user profiles and a personalized dashboard
  • Added space for localized news and announcements
  • Much more!

If you’re already a Firefox Affiliate, we* hope you enjoy these improvements. And if you’re not, why not sign up now? Being an affiliate is an easy way to support the efforts of a non-profit that strives every day to build the web the world needs.

We’d like to hear from you. Please file a bug if you find one or reach out in the #affiliates channel on irc.mozilla.org to say “hi”. And keep your eye out for more new features — there’s another batch of Affiliates Awesome just around the corner!

* The Affiliates 2.0 team included dozens of people spanning the globe — too many to list here. This site redesign was a collective effort of Mozilla’s amazing affiliates, volunteers, localizers, designers, copywriters, engineers, quality assurers, contractors,  and many others. Thank you all.
