It's not clear which version of the extension was initially submitted for Firefox approval: the one with the redundant permission or the one without. If the latter, even though I'm inclined to believe Mozilla probably do have a more developer-friendly process in place, it's not really a fair comparison.

Again, if the permissions had been fixed by this point, and Google had accepted it, why would you assume a rough ride from Mozilla?
- DanielDe 6y agoYeah, this does make the comparison less fair. Mozilla might have been similarly unhelpful about this issue. But some other points still stand, like how Firefox got back to us quickly about the "delay", and how they showed our position in a queue. Google, on the other hand, was worse than just opaque about the process. Why were we worried about Mozilla? Because things were so bad with Google that we figured something had to go wrong with Mozilla. So we put our psychological guard up just in case.
