675 | Creating an appealing add-on listing | Add-ons, Beginner, Guide, WebExtension, publishing |
There are two essential steps to getting people to use your add-on: they need to discover your add-on and open the listing page, then the listing page needs to encourage them to click the Add to Firefox button. The content you add to a listing is therefore vital: from making effective use of keywords in your descriptions, to get visibility in external search engine results, through having an icon that attracts a user’s attention from a category list, to screenshots that show how useful your add-on is. | ||

683 | Source code submission | Add-ons, Extensions, Review Policy, distribution |
To complete the review process at addons.mozilla.org (AMO), reviewers must be able to read the code in your extension. Some build processes render extension code difficult to read. These processes include minifying your code, as well as the use of module bundlers or similar tools, such as webpack. In this case, when you upload your extension to AMO, you will need to provide your source code and instructions for building that source code, where build processes render your extension’s code hard to read. | ||

686 | Theme concepts | Theme, add-on |
Themes developed using the WebExtensions API in Firefox enable you to change the look of the browser by adding images to the header area of the Firefox browser; this is the area behind the menu bar, toolbars, address bar, search bar, and tab strip. | ||
687 | Using the AMO theme generator | AMO, Add-ons, Firefox, Guide, Tutorial, add-on |
The theme generator on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) guides you through the process of creating a theme for Firefox. Once you have defined the colors and image for your theme, the generator will submit your new theme to AMO. You may submit themes for publishing on AMO or for self-distribution. | ||
688 | Third Party Library Usage | Add-ons, Extensions, Review Policy |
To complete the review process at addons.mozilla.org (AMO), reviewers must be able to verify the code in your extension. You may include third-party libraries in your extension. In that case, when you upload your extension to AMO, you will need to provide links to the library source code. | ||
689 | Updates | |
Firefox supports automated updates to add-ons using JSON update manifests. Add-ons hosted on AMO automatically receive updates to new versions posted there. Other add-ons must specify the location of their update manifests. | ||
