We’ve submitted an addon and now see the queue advancing horribly slowly.
We first uploaded minimized code with the full code attached, and that got it flagged for lengthy admin review.
So we cancelled this and uploaded it anew, with the plain, commented code and no attachment. But it’s still moving as slowly as before. ETA = 2 months!
We’ve secured 2 pilot cooperations with organizations with 100K consumers/users each and they may cancel if we can’t deliver sooner. What are our options?
- After uploading, I got an email saying that the add-on, awaiting review, can be accessed and installed directly from its detail page. But when accessing the page, it says it can’t be installed on FF >= V43
- Would it be better to self-host the extension? Also gives an ugly warning but at least it installs. But I don’t like it.
- Can we get it online immediately without it being visible in the addons directory? Kind of unlisted, un-reviewed version? People are invited by the organizations, so they don’t have to stumble upon us.
- Our last option not to lose our clients and close shop, is pointing them to another browser, but that’s a hurdle and to nobody’s advantage.
Any suggestions to bridge the time to the review date are welcome.
