  3. {% trans %}The add-on must have a minimum of 2,000 users.{% endtrans %}
  4. {% trans %}The add-on must be compatible with the latest release of Firefox and must be compatible with beta versions 4 weeks before their final release.{% endtrans %}
  5. {% trans %}Most importantly, the add-on must have wide consumer appeal to Firefox's users and be outstanding in nearly every way: user experience, performance, security, and usefulness or entertainment value. Featured complete themes must also be visually appealing.{% endtrans %}

{{ _('Nominating an Add-on') }}

Rejected add-ons cannot be re-nominated within 3 months. {% endtrans %}

{% trans %} Members of the Mozilla Add-ons team may veto any add-on's selection because of security, privacy, compatibility, or any other reason, but in general it is up to the Board to select add-ons to feature. {% endtrans %}

{% trans %} This featured policy only applies to the addons.mozilla.org global list of featured add-ons. Add-ons featured in other locations are often pulled from this list, but Mozilla may feature any add-on in other locations without the Board's consent. Additionally, locale-specific features override the global defaults, so if a locale has opted to select its own features, some or all of the global features may not appear in that locale. {% endtrans %}
