It’s time to Rock Your Firefox!

Tuesday, Mar 9, 2010

Welcome to Rock Your Firefox, a place for Firefox users to discover cool new add-ons, or just learn what add-ons are all about.

So what are Firefox Add-ons? You can think of them as apps that let you customize your Firefox browser. As a global community, Mozilla pioneered the personalized Web browser with Firefox Add-ons. For the first time, users could pick and choose ways to customize their unique online experience. And today hundreds of millions of people worldwide have downloaded nearly 2 billion add-ons.

We’re launching Rock Your Firefox to feature reviews, feedback, and insights from people around the Web who are using Firefox Add-ons to make their online experience better. There are thousands of ways to customize your browser with Firefox Add-ons in categories like social, communication, travel and photos, music and video. An add-on can be a new time-saving sidebar, a shortcut to search, or a themed look. So for anything you spend time doing on the Web, whether it’s listening to your favorite songs, shopping on Amazon.com, or checking the weather in the mountains, there’s probably an add-on that makes those activities easier and more enjoyable.

Add-ons are awesome, but many people don’t know how to take full advantage of them. We want to change that, because using Firefox without exploring add-ons is a little like visiting Rome but never leaving your five-star hotel. The service may be impeccable, but you’ll miss out big time if you don’t get out and see the sights.

So check back often. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we’ll highlight relevant and helpful Firefox Add-ons. Subscribe to our feed and follow us on Twitter to keep in touch.

Let’s get started!  Check our our first featured add-on, Yoono!

    I enjoy using Firefox.4.0 Beta 1, but it is slow loading and I have been getting error 502.

      Welcome to Firefox, Cody!
      It sounds like you’re talking about Personas.
      For context, you can read a Rock Your Firefox post about Earth Day Personas here:

    Oh, man. I’m really loving this site as opposed to the original add-ons site. =)

    And just for the record, I tried Google Chrome for about two days. It was nice and all, but I guess I will just be a Firefox junkie forever!

    While Mozilla did not “Pioneer” as this article suggests, Mozilla did make it popular. Give some attributon: Browser Helper Objects for browsers as old as Internet Explorer 4 existed. In fact it was the first browser with BHOs. Too bad most times people install a bad one that completely decimates their computer and requires tech support to fix.

    I think what the aerticle should try to explain is, Firefox is (probably, possibly, please help me) the first HTML-structured browser (the interface is a webpage!) which explains why it is so extensible.

    I am possibly wrong (except for the IE4 part, I am right on that), and I am not knocking the article at all as blasphemy. I am knocking it for misinformation from misguided individuals who aren’t as “In it” with the browser wars.
