So I recently built an extension for the new tab page, something to help manage and control bookmarks on-page. Anyways, few things I have noticed, and wondering if you guys can help me with is,
I have the extension installed on my Firefox for testing purposes, from the store and from local. Here is what I have noticed.
-
When I make a change to the extension and resubmit, it goes live, and new users can download the updated extension. What about existing users? I have auto-updates on firefox and extensions, yet the extension does not update if I already had it installed. Rebooting the browser, even waiting a day or so, nothing. I have to uninstall and readd it.

I have noticed on multiple occasions the extension has been uninstalled from my browser, (not disabled, it doesn’t exist anymore). I have been making more updates lately, and wondering if it’s related to updating the extension where it just removes it from existing users. But as of right now, it happened twice, where the extension no longer exists on my browser and I have to re-install it. This does not make any sense.
