Email Mozilla sent to addon developers, today, outlining their new Firefox addon policy.

Hello,

You are receiving this email because you are listed as the developer of an extension for Firefox.

We will be updating our add-on policies effective December 1st, 2021. To summarize the changes that will go into effect:

We will no longer be accepting the collection of browsing activity data, unless it is part of the add-on’s primary function.

Add-ons with the sole purpose of promoting, installing, loading or launching another website, application or add-on are no longer permitted to be listed on addons.mozilla.org.

The use of encryption - standard HTTPS - is now always required when communicating with remote services. We have also updated the language regarding the data disclosure, collection and management. If your add-on does not have a privacy policy listed on addons.mozilla.org, or your add-on does not show a consent prompt at first run of the add-on, we encourage you to read our updated policies and take action as necessary.

When the policies go into effect, they apply both to existing and future submissions on addons.mozilla.org.

You can preview the policy and ensure your extensions abide by them to avoid any disruption.

Thank you for your help in keeping the add-ons ecosystem safe. If you have questions about these updated policies or would like to provide feedback, please post to this thread in our community forum.

Regards,

The Add-ons Team
