Steps to reproduce:

Please can we create a new snippet, targeted at EN markets and scheduled for removal at the end of October?

Unless there is a design that would fit, could we use a autumn colored leaf (orange/red) with the copy:

October Add-ons: Protect yourself on the web this autumn with these useful add-ons

I would make a slight change to strengthen and reinforce the privacy message, like so:

October Add-ons: Protect yourself on the Web this autumn with these privacy & security tools.

I think using the original add-on icon is best here since it represents add-ons more than a leaf, and figuring out a icon that represents both add-ons and autumn may bring us into winter. ;)

Dan - is that okay? 

Here's the icon we'd use:

I'm assuming this would link here (Dan please confirm):

Thanks for the amazing turnaround Laura. And I missed a response to your question-

> I'm assuming this would link here (Dan please confirm):

That's correct, except without the en-US:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/privacy-security/

Also, can we track add-on installs from this snippet?

Not sure if we can but adding Fligtar here as I know AMO uses custom tracking to do things like this.

Dan - where to find results - follow these instructions but look within the AMO WT profile: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Lforrest#Q:_How_many_downloads.2Fhow_much_traffic_did_my_campaign_get.3F
