I’m the maintainer of the linux-entra-sso web extension for Firefox. I’m planning to offer a dedicated version for Thunderbird as well, but I’m unsure about the following aspects:
shall I reuse the same ID?
are the addon stores of FF and TB independent (we are self-distributing)?
can I automatically upload / release the extension using web-ext, and if so, what –amo-base-url shall I use for TB (self-distribution)?
you can definitely reuse the same ID for both stores, I have done this a few times
both addons stores are independent, and sadly Thunderbird one is now very outdated.
For example Thunderbird still uses HTML tags in the addon description, while Firefox store now uses Markdown.
According to Thunderbird’s lead add-ons developer “Since we do not sign add-ons, he does not need to upload self hosted add-ons to our store. He should use a different ID for the Thunderbird version, if it differs from the Firefox version.”
In the future you can direct questions to Topicbox
