[PINNED] Firefox version is out of date (pre-URL change), and we know

[cooljeanius]

I keep forgetting which discussions to refer people to when closing duplicate issues about the Firefox version being broken due to the change in URLs from Twitter to X, so I'm pinning this issue as a reminder: see discussion in #294, #321 and #327.

There is not a whole lot that we can do to get the Firefox version updated from our end, we have tried to implement all of their requested changes and are currently still waiting to hear back from them. If you want to talk to people who actually have power over this, use Mozilla's forum. ~@rougetimelord

Any future dups will be closed as dups against this one instead.

For anyone looking for a workaround, if are logged in and go to twitter.com/?mx=1, it'll let you browse for a while under the twitter.com domain instead of x.com, which keeps the extension working.

Thank you omg, maybe people won't make 20 dupes of the same issue

Hi folks. I'm Simeon from the Mozilla Add-ons team. I'm visiting by way of this thread.

If you've been waiting a long time (multiple weeks), something unusual is likely happening. Maybe there was a miscommunication, maybe someone missed an update. Regardless, I think your best course of action is to reply to the relevant rejection email thread to bring it back to the reviewers' attention.

Hm, that would probably be up to @kheina, although that may be changing depending on how discussion in #327 goes...

Does the "wontfix" label mean that there won't be an updated version to firefox at all? or does it mean we're just waiting for firefox to approve the next version?

I think @rougetimelord meant the latter, but let's wait for confirmation...

Asking as an idiot, is there a technical limitation stopping the developers of Blue-Blocker from adding an XPI binary to the github releases for users to install into Firefox manually?

I only ask because there are other similarly "blacklisted" addons (most notably bypass-paywalls-clean) that use this method to get around being unable to use the mozilla addon store anymore.
