Not true. They sign very liberally and you can even host signed extensions for your own users exclusively without listing them on addons.mozilla.org at all.
- vetinari 9y agoThat doesn't help, when you really needed an unsigned extension, or at least signed with your own key (and enroll your own key to firefox installation). For example, FreeIPA used to have an extension, that configured Firefox to your own domain (enrolled an root signing certificate, configured trusted domains for GSSAPI, etc. - all the dangerous things). But because the extension was customized for your own domain, obviously, it could not be signed. So, it was killed instead. Nowadays, you get a list of steps, you have to do by hand. On every desktop.

- singron 9y agoGetting an extension reviewed can take months. They periodically publish how many have been in the queue for over 10 days, but they otherwise dont say how long the tail is. It's long.
