![]() Even popular apps like 1Password were not spared from this drama, well at least the reviewers are treating everyone equally. He also pointed out that many developers have complained about Mozilla's add-on review process. EndĪccording to a comment by Juraj Mäsiar, the developer of Group Speed Dial, Mozilla gives a 14-day grace period for add-on developers to fix issues with their extension, failing which results in automatic removal of the plugin from the add-on store. Update: The BlockTube extension is available again. The add-on developer has resubmitted their extension for review after making some more changes to the code. The compressed text editor code was replaced, and the add-on was submitted for review, but Mozilla rejected it again for using the eval function. That is literally what the extension is designed to do, to block and filter content. It was related to the eval function which the add-on was using for blocking content on YouTube. The BlockTube extension has also been removed from Mozilla's add-on repository. Its developer explained that the reason given for the add-on's removal was because it contains "minified, concatenated or otherwise machine-generated code". You may use the add-on's functionality by installing a user script using Violentmonkey or a similar extension (FYI: Tampermonkey is no longer open source). ![]() ![]() The plugin's developer has mentioned that the extension was also removed from the Edge add-ons store for violating their terms of service, well at least here we know that there was a clear breach of the rules. An add-on called Age Restriction Bypass for YouTube, suffered the same fate. Some users on reddit were discussing how Mozilla has been silently removing extensions recently. Is Mozilla striking add-on developers unfairly with its banhammer? That's odd, isn't it? How could an outdated add-on suddenly start acting weird? Perhaps something changed in the backend, maybe the servers used to trigger the download were being redirected to the malicious domain? That should be enough for banning the extension, as it would clearly be a violation of the terms and conditions set by the AMO. FVD Video Downloader's last version was 1.32, and it was updated on January 16th, 2019.
