about me
Hi! My name is Justin Scott, and I work on improving the add-ons experience at Mozilla. I usually blog about Firefox add-ons, web development, and zombies.
a little about me
I grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and acquired the nickname “fligtar” after my first character’s name in the MMORPG EverQuest back in 2001, which I still play to this day.
I started using Firefox in 2004 and shortly afterwards wrote my first extension. I began volunteering with the Mozilla Add-ons website in early 2006, with no idea it would eventually become my full-time job. After working for Mozilla part-time for a few years and graduating from Louisiana State University, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area at the beginning of 2009.
Now, as Add-ons Product Manager, I work with the rest of the add-ons team to keep Firefox the most customizable browser with the largest selection of add-ons built by thousands of community members who love Firefox.
things I’ve made
I started coding in middle school, so I’ve managed to rack up a lot of personal projects, some still in use and others that never saw the light of day. A couple that I still try to make time for are listed below.
- Password Exporter
- An add-on for Firefox and Thunderbird that can export and import your saved usernames and passwords for transferring between computers or backing up. More than 1.4 million downloads and 220,000 daily users.
- FavLoc
- An add-on for Firefox that adds custom save locations to the context menu, file menu, and download dialog. More than 85,000 downloads and 8,000 daily users.
