In Firefox version 57 and above, only extensions built using WebExtensions APIs will work. See Firefox add-on technology is modernizing and these Frequently Asked Questions for details.

The Mozilla Add-ons site is using Firefox Accounts for a more integrated experience across all Mozilla products and services (see this Mozilla blog for the background). Use your existing Firefox Account or create a new one to access your add-ons on https://addons.mozilla.org.

If you have an existing Add-ons account, you can upgrade to Firefox Accounts by logging in or registering with a Firefox Account that matches your Add-ons email address.

You can find instructions for logging in or registering below.

  2. Click Log in.
  3. Enter your email address and password, then click Sign in.

Create a new account

If you’ve never had an Add-ons account or a Firefox Account, sign up for Firefox Accounts to get started with the Add-ons site.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my add-ons when I convert to a new Firefox Account?

You will have access to all your add-ons through your new Firefox Account.

Why do I want a Firefox Account?

A Firefox Account is the primary account system used by Firefox, most often used natively to synchronize Firefox services across multiple devices. Even if you don’t use Sync, many Firefox-related services will soon begin migrating over to simplify your sign in process, making it easier for you to join new services.

Where do I change my password?

Once you have a Firefox Account, you can go to https://accounts.firefox.com, sign in and click Change next to Password.
