Add-ons/Community/
When you develop browser extensions for Firefox one of your best assets is the community of browser extension developers. This community is ready to share their skills and expertise, and make your browser extension development an engaging experience.
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all. Our participation guidelines set the standards for behavior in this community and all official Mozilla forums.
Whether you are a regular contributor or a newcomer, we welcome you. If you feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a community member, please contact Caitlin Neiman, Add-ons Community Manager, or the Mozilla Diversity & Inclusion team, immediately.
