There are three tiers of supported Firefox build targets at this time. These tiers represent the shared engineering priorities of the Mozilla project.
The term “Tier-1 platform” refers to those platforms - CPU architectures and operating systems - that are the primary focus of Firefox development efforts. …
Hmm. Honestly, it didn’t occur to me, I have not tried – bear in mind the discontinuation, and so on. In the past I was a careless user, guilty of inadvertently uploading things to AMO that were never intended for AMO – NB the essential advice above. Those things were toys for my personal use, never for distribution (although I did, just once, have an afterthought that something ‘up there’ could have been useful to someone else).

Today, for version 6.25, with added emphasis:
Collection of statistics:
If user agree, then the extension may collect non-personalized browsing history.
Such statistics are needed to improve this extension – based on domain names, a map of work priorities will be drawn up in which area it is necessary to add efforts to make the extension better.
We don’t collect cookies, password, e-mails or any other confidential info.
Only the domains (not full URLs) of the web-sites visited and nothing else!
