Rock Your Firefox was a Facebook application we built two years ago to add a fun, social aspect to Firefox customization. As your friends selected their favorite add-ons, you could see what add-ons were popular with people you know, and get recommendations based on those favorites.
Last year I blogged that we were no longer actively developing or fixing bugs with the application behind Rock Your Firefox, a part of AMO’s codebase. Sadly, we’ll be ending support and disabling Rock Your Firefox this Friday. We may re-launch again in the future when we can rewrite the application to fix numerous bugs and make use of many new features on both AMO and the Facebook Platform.
As a way to remember the good times you had with Rock Your Firefox, make sure to grab a Rock Your Firefox Wallpaper before it’s too late.

Thank you. I was looking at replacing the ->Search component in Remora with a purely sphinx based alternative, and the FB app was one of the last remaining dependencies.
It also spawned one of the most badass Firefox t-shirts I’ve gotten yet.
