I've written Firefox extensions, and I gave up on the official Mozilla extension store. It is far easier to host the extension xpi yourself and provide the update configuration in your extension manifest for your own webserver. This lets you auto-update your extension yourself. The only downside is you have to learn how to sign the extension with either the command line or an eccentric GUI program on windows. All of the problems detailed in this blog are true. But I feel like the author missed one thing that bugs me. Whenever you install a Firefox addon, you might notice that little text saying "author not verified". Why is that? Because the verification process for authorship is above and beyond the normal extension process and insane.
