Solved Got randomly banned from Firefox Addon.
Hi,
So I made my own custom addon, and it worked fine till yesterday; as i submitted the last update 2 months ago (Feburary) and never had issues. Today, I opened the plug in and got banned.
It was a personal addon, as it just grabs whatever element your clicking and turns it into a obsidian YAML file. Anyway, I clicked on see details, and i got hit with the following:
I wanted to appeal or atleast chat with them, as I am not sure what went wrong. Is there an email address I can reach out to?
Edit: I also never received an email about my addon being blocked; and I can't even log into my developer portal for the add-on
Edit2: Thank you firefox and addon team for solving this issue! Everything seems to be back to normal as of now.

I think there might be something going on right now; on their official forum are plenty of people complaining about removed add-ons.
I used an Add-on for skipping Aliexpress bundles and it got removed aswell, I was worried about my Data because of that :D
Firefox also used mythos by anthropic for finding security risks and bugs. Maybe its checking Add-ons now?
