With Fashion Your Firefox, add-ons that fit people’s
online lifestyles are organized in easy to discover ways and are available for
installation in just a few easy clicks.
Fashion Your Firefox presents add-ons in activity-based categories that make
them easy to find and install. Add-ons are tiny pieces of software that add new
features or functionality to Firefox, letting people customize their browser to
meet their tastes. There are currently more than 1 billion downloads of Firefox
add-ons.
“One of the best parts about Firefox is the amazing richness of our

Mozilla. “We’re excited to introduce Fashion Your Firefox because it makes it
even easier for people to discover useful add-ons that make the browsing
experience better and more personal.”
