[Feature request] TST fully reviewed on addons.mozilla.org

RedHorizon opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello!
Addon has currently been preliminarily reviewed by Mozilla. That means you can't install it using about:addons page because it simply is not shown in search results. You have to scroll down to the end of about:addons page, click "See search results", it will open a new tab and only then you'll be able to install TST.

If Tree Style Tab is fully reviewed by Mozilla, it will make the process of installation easier.

I think TST won't be published as a "full-reviewed" addon on
AMO, because there is one unavoidable issue: TST doesn't match to the
policy of AMO.

In 2010, AMO editors decided to reject Tree Style Tab and some my other
addons as "bad" addons, because they were against AMO policies - mainly,
they used many "eval()" to inject custom codes into functions defined by
Firefox itself. Because there are less APIs for addons like TST, I still
have to use "eval()" to do it. I wrote an objection for this topic, in 4
years ago:

If the review policy was changed or relaxed, I'm ready to request full
review again. Otherwise, my request won't be accepted...

To be honest, I agree that TST possibly should not be published as a
full-reviewed addon, by AMO policy. TST is too fragile from many tricky
hacks. Moreover, actually, too many "eval()" make my addon hard to be
reviewed. So, I even think it is better that my addon is kept in sandbox
with quick updates, than slow updates from every full-review processes
taking much time.
