The version in production didn’t have a search redirect. So, what you’re referring to is NOT True.
Our CEO provided a workaround because we need to help people to restore data that you deleted without their consent.
“If an add-on appears to intentionally violate the policies or its developers have proven unreachable, unresponsive, or uncooperative, or in case of repeat violations, blocking may be immediate.”
That is not true. We send numerous emails with clarifications and we have evidence.
We need it to be restored so our users can backup and export the data.
Also, we plan to make a new update to warn users that in a few months we will stop supporting FVD Speed Dial for Firefox because having numerous problems with review processes. BTW, all developers that we know have the same complaints.
So, help people to restore data and we don’t want to do anything with Firefox.
