Suggest Add-ons in Welcome Page

[jack1]

It seems that some Firefox users don't use or know about add-ons. I think that including suggestions of popular add-ons in the welcome page will help. They can be put into groups depending on their functionality.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Just as long as it can be disabled by the user (just like Pocket, Top Sites etc).

I prefer to have a clean Welcome Page myself, but it's clear that too many people are ignorant to the benefits of Add-Ons.

Yeah, the UX of finding addons is not great. Less friction and more discoverability would be welcome.

This would be good for users who don't typically look at extensions as it would allow them to see some of the great extensions that are available.

I believe add ons like the containers are crucial to helping Firefox stand out from other browsers, and are key to retaining users, once they start using them. Having this one time pop up will expose new users to these and then potentially keep them from switching away in future.

Thanks for the suggestion @jack1 ! This is something we're currently exploring through experimentation.

Hey all,

Quick update...

In reference to @najla's post, we are currently exploring this through experimentation.

Please continue sharing your input (the more details to support your case, the better) and stay tuned for more updates 😀

Putting AMO as a default bookmark might be a good idea.

@jack1As of Firefox 120, we're now introducing add-ons in first-run onboarding for English locales. Thanks for your feedback!
