+Mozilla has launched a new Facebook application designed to promote the Firefox browser. ["Rock Your Firefox"][2] lets you share your favorite Firefox add-ons and see which add-ons your friends are using, all from within the pristine walls of the Facebook network.
+
+The content more or less mirrors that of the normal Firefox add-ons directory -- you can browse and search add-ons -- but adds the social aspect which means you can discover new add-ons through your Facebook friends (provided they have the app installed).
+
+Unfortunately, Rock Your Fox doesn't pull in user reviews or have any way for Facebook members to comment on the apps. Perhaps at some point Mozilla can work out a way to feed in the reviews and comment threads from official add-ons site.
+
+There's nothing particularly ground breaking about Rock Your Firefox (other than its cheesy name, doubtless meant to appeal to Facebook's younger audience), but it should serve as a nice promotional tool for Firefox.
+
+Mozilla has stepped up its Firefox evangelism in the past year or so with a number of [branded browsers][1] and outreach programs like the new Facebook app.
