Contribute to Firefox Marketplace in General

There's lots of different ways to contribute to this project, and every skill level is welcome. Whether you're nominating apps for featuring, creating an open web app, or reviewing app submissions, your efforts matter!

For all levels of technical ability:

Test and rate apps

  1. Go to https://marketplace.firefox.com on your mobile device and find an app with fewer than 10 reviews that interests you.
  2. Install and sample the app. If it's broken or has mature or unsafe content, use the "Report Abuse" button to notify the app review team.
  3. Rate and review the app by clicking the "Write a Review" button. See Tips

March 19, 2014: We've added packaged app and native APK support to make Open Web Apps more compatible on Android phones and tablets, and are specifically encouraging feedback from Android users.

Nominate apps to be featured

Help curate the apps that are featured on Marketplace by nominating your favorite app or collection of apps. https://marketplace.firefox.com/nominate

Localization

  1. MDN has a "localization priorities" list that you can check to find a translation project you're interested in.
  2. Translate apps into new languages and locales or contribute by reviewing translations in your own language, and help developers bring their apps to relevant users around the world. Right now, we need reviewers across dozens of apps in dozens of languages. Get started: https://www.transifex.com/organization/mozilla-tech-evangelism/
  3. Help localize Firefox Marketplace itself (UI, Help pages, etc.) by working with the L10n team.
