Firefox Add-ons name earns the slug
Pick a descriptive add-on name early, because AMO turns that choice into the public slug and a vague title makes both search and trust weaker.
Why this can grow a startup
Firefox Add-ons buyers often meet the product through a search result or a copied marketplace link before they meet the team. Mozilla's listing guidance makes the naming decision do more work than most extension teams expect: a unique descriptive name not only tells the user what the add-on does, it also becomes the AMO slug. That means the name keeps showing up in the URL, screenshots, support threads, and shared links. A tighter name improves recall and makes the listing feel less like a random package upload.
Company example
Firefox Extension Workshop says a unique, descriptive add-on name gives users a good indication of the add-on's job and also creates a matching unique slug on addons.mozilla.org.
