Is this contest open to people outside of the United States?
Yes, we've spent a great deal of time to develop a set of rules that work in most places in the world (with more in the works). It turns out to be nontrivial to support every country, given the differences in laws governing skilled contests, but we've tried our best to be as inclusive as possible. Please see the Official Rules for more information. If you're interested and able to help us adapt these rules to work under your country's laws for contests, please contact us at extendfirefox@mozilla.com.

Are platform-specific add-ons eligible? (e.g. Windows only)
Participants can submit platform specific extensions, though submitting extensions that work on all platforms (i.e. Windows, Mac, and Linux) is highly encouraged.
