I submitted my extension for review on March 9, 2025, and it’s still under review. I’m just wondering if this is normal?
For comparison, the same extension was reviewed and published on both Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons in about 2 to 4 business days. The process there seemed pretty quick, so I’m a bit concerned about the delay on Firefox.
@wert My guess is that it is not normal, based on the fact that by today’s acceptable business/organisational practice speedy delivery especially in cyberspace is critical.
@dotproto Add-ons as we all know extend and add addtional functionality to Firefox. I can confirm that there some companies and hospitals I know would have only been using say Chrome or an alternative browser to Firefox had it not been that the developer of the add-on they depend on for day-to-day business operations chose Firefox as the vehicle for delivering their software as an extension. Mozilla is likely to lose out completely if this attitude of degrading the developer experience continues.
There are still a lot of developers that prefer Firefox as the deployment platform. Image what happens when they can nolonger get security fixes and new features to users/clients on time because reviews are taking forever, they will simply move onto Chrome/Edge even though their preference to only use Firefox as the their platform. Mozilla is losing!
@wert, it’s not intentional, but unfortunately reviews have been backed up for a while now. Mozilla doesn’t publish data on the length of the review queue, but based on other developer reports that you can find here it appears that reviews are currently taking over three weeks to complete.
@BizGuru, I’m curiosu about the situation(s) you’re referring to. Could you share the name of the add-on or developer that you alluded to?
