Extensions or add-ons are software modules, typically developed by a third party, that enhance your browsing experience.

With an evergrowing list of extensions on addons.mozilla.org (AMO), Mozilla’s official directory for add-ons, there's bound to be bad actors who may put your security and privacy at risk by using extensions to compromise your personal data.

To protect your safety and privacy, you can review these tips before installing or use extensions that are regularly reviewed by Mozilla staff (indicated with one of the badges listed below on AMO and the Add-ons Manager).

Recommended Extensions

Extensions that are editorially curated to meet the highest standards of security, functionality, and user experience. Firefox staff, along with community participation, manually selects and reviews each extension before they receive Recommended status. These extensions may also qualify for promotions on prominent locations such as the AMO homepage.
