How to Get Your Firefox Extension AMO-Approved Faster

After publishing the Weather & Clock Dashboard on Mozilla AMO, here is what actually speeds up review.

Request Only What You Need

"permissions": ["storage"]

Every extra permission triggers deeper review.

No eval() or Dynamic Code

Automatic rejection. Use strict CSP:

"content_security_policy": {
  "extension_pages": "script-src 'self'; object-src 'none'"
}

Use Manifest V3

MV3 has a smoother review path for new submissions than MV2.

Submit Source If You Bundle

Pure HTML/CSS/JS with no build step is the fastest path — no source submission required.

Write a Privacy Statement

In your AMO description: "This extension does not collect or transmit any data. All settings are local-only via browser.storage.local."

The Weather & Clock Dashboard reviewed in 3 days with this approach.
