Your Challenge

Develop a Firefox add-on for mobile by December 7, 2009 and be eligible to win a shiny new Nokia N900.

After this time period, our Mozilla judges* will select ten (10) mobile add-ons that best represent user experience and innovation on Firefox for mobile devices.

Those who have already developed a Firefox add-on for mobile need to confirm that they would like to enter their add-on in the judging process. Please confirm by sending an email to clooney at mozilla dot com. See Contest Rules for more information.
