> as long as you provide the unminified versions to Google/Mozilla during review time.

I have been publishing extensions for a while and never found Google asking me for the source code, is there any hidden option to submit it?

Another detail I have missed is release notes, Firefox is supposed to provide those but I have never been able to add them, Chrome doesn't seem to display them but I have got my submission rejected just after "improving" the description.

> On chrome vs. browser namespaces, a quick 'let chrome = browser;' can help you keep the diffs small between versions. I have yet to find a complete solution to fixing 'forked code' between Google/Mozilla Extensions/Add-Ons.

Firefox actually supports the chrome namespace but you need to be careful as some other APIs are different, for example, in Chrome the notifications has a richer set of options but you need to be careful to not use the ones not supported by Firefox.




Yeah, on the idea of improving a description when you haven’t updated the extension for a while. My extension also got a reject notice after sitting in the submission queue for a week just because I capitalized one letter in the app description.

I definitely wish I would have known that.
