Mozilla announced the launch of the Firefox Recommended Extensions program in April 2019 to increase the visibility of extensions and promote them better.

The program differs from Mozilla's current practice of displaying add-on recommendations to Firefox users. Firefox users may see a list of extensions when they open the Add-ons Manager of the web browser, visit the Mozilla AMO website (official extensions repository), or through the contextual extension recommendations feature of the Firefox browser.

The new program takes the concept a step further. Extensions need to meet certain requirements for inclusion in the program; among them a commitment from the developer, that they pass manual reviews each time they are updated and initially, and that they need to be "really good" at what they do.

Extensions that make it are promoted by Mozilla in various ways. The organization plans them to power the recommendations that Firefox displays on about:addons and contextually, and promote them on Mozilla AMO and through other means.

Tip: we asked you which extensions you'd like to see promoted by Mozilla recently.

Firefox 68: the new recommendations

Mozilla integrated the new recommendations page of about:addons in the latest Firefox 68 Nightly version. The page is not enabled by default at the time, but can be enabled in the following way:

1.- Load about:config in the Firefox address bar.
2.- Confirm that you are careful if the warning is displayed.
3.- Search for extensions.htmlaboutaddons.discover.enabled.
4.- Toggle the value to True (enabled).
