Your extension’s name is critical. It shows up everywhere—in search results, on addons.mozilla.org, and in the browser itself. It’s sometimes one of the few pieces of information that a user has to determine whether or not they are interested in what you built.
Research shows that people really do take an extension’s name into account when making installation decisions. And, what you put into the extension name field becomes your URL on addons.mozilla.org.
Between your extension name and subtitle, you have up to 70 characters to use—that’s because 70 is the max character limit for your headline in external search results. It’s best to keep your extension name shorter so you have more characters left over for your subtitle.
- Tincidunt lobortis feugiat vivamus at augue eget arcu dictum. Enim facilisis gravida neque convallis a cras.
- Id diam vel quam elementum pulvinar etiam non. Quam id leo in vitae turpis.
Extension Name Do’s and Don’ts

{% capture dothis %}
- Make it memorable
- Make it unique
- Keep it short for better display on smaller screens
- Make it easy to read and say
- Give an idea or hint about what your extension does with an illustrative word or metaphor
{% capture example %}
Examples: An extension that saves passwords is called Remembear
An extension that puts a cat on new tabs is called Tabbycat
An extension that improves YouTube is called Enhancer for YouTube
{% endcapture %} {% include modules/example.html content=example layout="block" %}
{% endcapture %} {% include modules/do-this.html title="Do This" content=dothis %}
{% capture notthis %}
1. Don't include a description.
Save these details for your subtitle and description.
{% include modules/example.html content="Example: Videomix, a fast video downloader" layout="inline" %}
2. Don't stuff it with keywords.
Google is smarter than this and it just makes your extension look untrustworthy.
{% include modules/example.html content="Example: Youtube Download Videos, Convert, Media, MP3, MP4, Free." layout="inline" %}
3. Don't use random words to differentiate, like “Barbara Notetaker.”
Instead, create a descriptive name that is not already in use, like “Instant Notetaker.”
4. Don't call it something with no meaning, like “hoyv.”
While the name “hoyv” doesn’t work, the name “uBlock Origin” for an ad-blocking extension does because it contains the word “block”.
5. Don't include "WebExtension," “Firefox” or “Mozilla."
6. Don't include version number or a previous name.
{% include modules/example.html content="Example: Weatherchanger (fix version)" layout="inline" %}
7. Don't make it hard to read or say.
{% include modules/example.html content="Example: TrLrs! Tab Changer." layout="inline" %}
Remembear Example:
![Screenshot Remembear]({% asset "content-guidelines/example-remembear.png" @path @optim %} "Screenshot Remembear")
