Summary

Rock Your Firefox (RYFX) is a consumer website that the Firefox Add-ons team is creating to share great user-friendly add-ons with the Firefox user audience. Every week, we'll feature add-on reviews from people around the Web who are using Firefox Add-ons to make their Web experience better.

The name "Rock Your Firefox" was created by add-on developer and Mozilla product manager, Justin Scott, as part of his summer intern project at Mozilla in 2007.

• Invite the Firefox user community to contribute to Rock Your Firefox via comments, suggestions, or guest blogs
• Provide add-ons developers with a way to get rich user feedback about their add-ons
  
• Provide a consumer-friendly channel for add-on distribution
