1. Log in to the Firefox Marketplace site
• In a Web browser, visit the Firefox Marketplace site
(https://marketplace.firefox.com).
• At the bottom of the page, click Developer Hub.
• Click the Sign in link at the top of the page. A login
window opens.
• Login with Mozilla Persona:
If you've previously used Persona, select the email
address for the identity you want to use, and click sign
in.

24. How do I create a Persona account?
• login.persona.org  Sign in  A pop up window
will appear.
• Type the email address  Next.
• Yahoo or Gmail email address:
• Log in to your email account to verify and your
Persona account will be created.
• Another email address:
• Create a password to use with Persona only. Enter
the password  Done.
• Verification email will be sent to your email
address.
• Click on the verification link to your account and
your Persona account will be created.

25. 2. Enter information about the app
This process includes four clearly labelled steps,
indicated at the top of the page.
First of all, click the Submit An App link at the
top of the page.

26. Step 1: Agreement

27. Step 2: Submit
• Choose whether your app will be Free or Paid.
• Select the devices your app is compatible with. You'll only get the
Packaged option if you just select Firefox OS, as this is the only
system that currently supports them. Firefox OS is also currently the
only option that supports paid apps.

28. • Provide the location of your app:
If your app is a hosted app, enter the location on your server of the app
manifest for your app (this must be a full URL), and click Validate.
• If the app manifest validates, click Continue.
• If there are validation errors, correct them and revalidate the
manifest.
If your app is a packaged app, click the Packaged tab and select the
zip file that you want to upload.
• The package will upload automatically. If your app validates, click
Continue.
• If there are validation errors, correct them and re-upload your
package.
• You can find more information on creating packaged apps at our
packaged app guide.

29. Step 3: Details

30. • The app's name and description, pulled from the app's
manifest file, are required. You may now edit the description
if you wish, and the length of the marketplace version can go
over the 1024 character limit of the manifest version: it is
unlimited.
Basic HTML tags are supported, so you can structure
your description somewhat.
• Check the categories that are relevant to your app, which
determines what listings your app will appear in on the
Marketplace. These are also required.
• Enter your privacy policy. This is also required.
• Enter your app homepage and support site details. These
fields are optional.

31. • Enter a support email address. This is required.
• Say whether your app requires Flash support (optional.)
• Add screenshots/videos to demonstrate your app's features
and workflows. Having at least one screenshot is required.
• Uncheck the "Publish my app in the Firefox Marketplace as
soon as it's reviewed." checkbox if you don't want it instantly
published as soon as it's been reviewed.
Note: The multi-line text fields support HTML, so you can
structure and link the text.

32. Step 4: Next Steps
There are many different options available in this section. The first
thing you need to do is review the information in the first page, then
press CONTINUE.

33. 1. First, Add a Content Rating using the Content Rating Tool
(press the "Create an IARC Ratings Certificate" button to get
started.) This will provide you with a Submission ID and
Security Code that you can enter into the bottom box and
Submit. If you already have a rating certificate, you can just
enter the details straight into the bottom box and press
Submit. This is required.
2. Review the Content Ratings that come up on the next screen
and make sure you are happy with them.
3. Click on the Compatibility & Payments link on the left of this
section to review the compatibility and payments option. Here you
can choose to:
• Change with platforms the app is to be distributed on
• Set what the pricing is, in the "Paid/In-app tab" (see App
pricing for pricing details)
• Alter the regions the app is listed in

34. 4. Click on the Team Members link on the left and add more
app team members if required. These team members have
access to the app's details as follows:
• Owner — Can manage all aspects of the app's listing,
including adding and removing other team members.
• Developer — Can manage all aspects of the app's listing,
except for adding and removing other team members and
managing payments.
• Support — Can view the app's settings and manage
refund requests.
• Viewer — Can view the app's settings but cannot make
any changes.
