Someone copied then abandoned my extension

This extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hoverzoom-plus/

It was copied from my Chrome extension https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/ without changing description (it even keeps using my name) and it still points to my repository. Then this copy was abandoned, stopped working, and now people are coming to me for support.

Author does not respond. How can I remove this extension from AMO so that I republish my own working version?

Hi @extesy, can you please file a DMCA Notice with Mozilla’s legal team? That’s the first step to getting infringing content removed.
