Best practices for updating extensions

Manage authors of your extension

Add-ons are often the result of the work of a team of developers, which is why add-ons on AMO can have multiple authors.

If someone is using your code without your permission, please follow these instructions to file a DMCA Notice with Mozilla’s legal team to resolve the situation.

Promote your extension

Keep your user base growing regularly reviewing your listing to make sure it’s as appealing as it can be.

However you choose to distribute your extension, you’ll want to promote your extension or theme.

Mozilla promotes a selection of Recommended Extensions that meet a high standard of security, utility, and user experience. If you’d like your extension to be included in the program, submit a nomination.

Making money from browser extensions is also something you might want to consider as your user base grows.
