That is FUD and also a lie. You can still distribute your extensions on whatever site you want, you just need to sign them on AMO. The workflow is: 1 - Build

If I need to get Mozilla's approval before I can run code in the browser running on my machine then I see a wall. That they've automated it so much as to mitigate the protection a walled garden normally gives almost makes it worse.

  You can install Firefox Beta or Nightly and have unrestricted extension installation options (or use a Linux distro's packages: most of such firefox packages do not require signed extensions). It's a measure to prevent casual trojans, there are many ways around it for non-casuals and developers to employ.

    >or use a Linux distro's packages: most of such firefox packages do not require signed extensions That's actually pretty cool. Can you give me an example distro that does that with Firefox (w/FF brandings)?

      Both Debian and Arch do this.
