Extensions allow you to add features to Firefox to customize your browsing experience. Extensions are software programs, most often developed by a third party, that modify the way Firefox works.

Firefox might occasionally recommend extensions based on websites you visit or ways you engage with the browser.

Why is this specific extension being recommended to me?

Extensions enable you to add new features to Firefox. They’re like apps for the browser, and they can make the tasks you do online simpler and more efficient. Extensions do things like protect passwords, download videos, find deals, block annoying ads, and much more. Empowering users to customize their browsing experience to fit their needs, as well as their personal tastes, is an important part of Firefox.

We might occasionally recommend extensions based on websites you visit or ways you engage with the browser. Mozilla does not collect or store your browsing history to make those recommendations. Recommendations are designed to introduce Firefox users to noteworthy extensions.

How are extensions selected?

Extensions are selected for recommendation through a thorough editorial and review process. Recommended extensions are exceptional extensions that are hand-selected by Mozilla’s editorial team. These extensions meet Mozilla’s highest standards for functionality, user experience, and security.

Extension developers cannot pay for placement in the recommendation program, and Firefox does not receive any compensation as a result of this process. Recommendations are strictly intended to provide a better browsing experience for Firefox users.

Who benefits from this recommendation?

Ideally, Firefox users like you.
