Well, I just hope it’ll be resolved soon.

I definitely trust that your self-hosted extension is safe, but I’m not a fan of using such extensions. I just like the piece of mind of using one directly from the store.

Ah yes & just to clarify, our extension still has to go through the signing & review process at Mozilla, including submitting source code occasionally for them to reproduce builds & validate + approve our extension. We just opted to distribute it ourselves rather than in the add-on store originally.

Wait, if you still need to verify it through Mozilla, doesn’t it mean that you’re already clear to host it through the add-on store?

I believe the biggest hurdle is how to migrate users best from our hosted extension to the add-on store version, so we can avoid having to deploy & maintain the distribution of both versions. Moving from an unlisted extension -> listed is not as seamless as you'd expect, as it would technically be a new / separate extension on the add-on store.
