Mozilla Addons, also known as AMO (from its domain, addons.mozilla.org), is a website run by the Mozilla Foundation which hosts extensions and themes for Firefox, Thunderbird, and other Mozilla software.
Extensions used to be based on XPI until the introduction of WebExtensions around 2016. Since Firefox 57 and Thunderbird 58, only WebExtensions are supported. XPI-based addons (called "legacy") are deprecated but still supported until the end-of-life of Firefox 52 ESR in September 2018. The legacy addons will be removed from AMO in early October 2018[1][2].
Utilities
- amo-links-getter: Both Wget and the Warrior are ineffective in downloading the site completely (besides there are many redundant links that are not taken into account as redirects causing the same content to be downloaded several times). This is a set of scripts that store all the links in a SQLite database to be downloaded later.
- Here's a list of discovered links (direct download link); see the discussion page on how to download it with Wget.
Archival
- There were two attempts to archive AMO through ArchiveBot. One ran from 2017-08-29 until early December 2017, the other was started on 2018-07-29 and vanished sometime in August 2018.
- All addon files (both from AMO for Firefox/Firefox Android and from addons.thunderbird.net for Thunderbird/Seamonkey) were downloaded by User:JustAnotherArchivist between 2018-09-14 and 2018-09-16.
- The amo-links-getter list linked above is being downloaded through ArchiveBot as job:akifc65k7kfhpdhfbveh79v1c (started on 2018-09-30).
- The old, "classic desktop" AMO website – minus downloads and
srcparameter variations, but including version history, reviews, and API data – is being grabbed by User:JustAnotherArchivist since 2018-09-30. - A warrior project for the website is in preparation.
