Hi all,

New changes to the Firefox add-on submission flow will add a short delay in the automatic approval process.

If you use web-ext or a custom script that connects to the AMO upload API, please update your tools this week to prevent timeout errors.

See the [Add-ons Blog](https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/11/11/security-improvements-in-amo-upload-tools/) for more information.
