=== I've upgraded to Firefox 3.1 but my add-on no longer works? Why is that? ===
=== I've upgraded to a new version of Firefox but my add-on no longer works? Why is that? ===


Most of our add-ons are now Firefox 3.1 compatible, and every day more are added.  If your add-on worked on 3.0 but not 3.1, chances are they're already working on it. When they do upgrade their add-on, Firefox will notify you about the upgrade.
Most of our add-ons are kept up to date by their authors, and every day more are added.  If your add-on doesn't work on the latest version of Firefox, chances are they're already working on it. When they do upgrade their add-on, Firefox will notify you about the upgrade.

=== What are Featured, Recommended and Category Recommended add-ons? ===


The AMO team recommends a set of add-ons which represent some of the best add-ons in terms of utility and overall experience.  These Recommended add-ons appear on the individual category pages.  Some of these add-ons are also rotated onto the front page of AMO as Featured add-ons.  This is by no means a comprehensive list, and we update the list monthly to continue to show our users a fresh set of add-ons.  Some things we consider when we recommend add-ons: quality, popularity, uniqueness, and whether or not the add-on has already been recommended.
