Contribute to Add-ons

Thank you for your interest in Add-ons. Whether you're technical or not at all, there's a contribution opportunity for you. It's easy to get started, and your efforts are appreciated!

For all levels of technical ability:

One & Done

Don't have much time but want to do something to help Add-ons? Pick a 15-minute task.

Review your favorite add-ons

Search for your favorite add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org. On the add-on's detail page, scroll down to the Reviews section and leave a comment for the developer.

Create a collection

Collections make it easy to keep track of favorite add-ons and share your perfectly customized browser with others. Get started here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/collections/

Create a theme

Lightweight themes let you personalize the look of your Firefox. To create your own, start here: https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/docs/themes

Localization

  • MDN's "localization priorities" list - We're always in need of translators--here are the priority projects for add-ons.
  • Localize an add-on - Join the Babelzilla community and help translate add-ons to your language. Get started here: http://babelzilla.org/

For more technical contributors:

Create an add-on

To get started, take a look at the Add-on Developer Hub. It contains documentation, tools and information on how to get in touch with other developers.

Or, check out a comprehensive tutorial for more advanced developers.

You can post questions and connect with other add-ons developers in the Add-ons Forum.

Review add-ons

Volunteer reviewers ensure the security and reliability of add-ons on AMO by testing every submission. Learn how you can join this community: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Marketplace/Reviewers/Addons

Test add-ons

To help test addons.mozilla.org (AMO), please take a look at this list of tests: https://oneanddone.mozilla.org/tasks/11/

To help test specific add-ons, please follow these instructions: https://oneanddone.mozilla.org/tasks/56/

It's also helpful to install the Add-ons Compatibility Reporter and use it to let us know when an add-on is not working properly.

Help add-on users

Answer questions from add-on users in the Firefox Support Forum!

Help add-on developers

If you're already familiar with add-on development or you think you're a good technical writer, help us improve the documentation for add-on developers: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons
