- You think that you help to make the best browser in the world?
- It is really so.
- Mozilla task is to make better for the people.
- But is it possible to make better for people by force, by torture, by
- humiliation and bullying?
- Or some people at the expense of others people?
- Once in the USSR, some people believed that the state knows better how many
- tomatoes and cucumbers need to each particular person.
- It turned out to be a mistake.
- Would you like to help the officials of the USSR?
- We would not want to help such officials.
- Now Mozilla has decided that it knows best what and how FireFox extensions the
- people can use, and what and how the people cannot use.
- As the developer of the extension, now I'll have to compile FireFox just to use
- their extension.
- Officials Mozilla actually have not listen to us. It's just torture.
- They were warned about all the problems. But in the end did what is not
- justified on any things.
- For example, Mozilla blocked the AMO beta-channels for fully reviewed
- extensions. With that, then they're going to open them again.
- It is not justified absolutely nothing.
- Here already as 1.5 years I am saying that the situation with the time of the
- AMO review is invalid.
- However, Mozilla is introducing even more complex and time-consuming procedure
- review, although Mozilla not the way to maintain the proper level of even this.
- People maintain the developing add-ons for free. And get Mozilla all to stop
- their development.
- To humiliate these people. Mozilla make it impossible for even a simple test
- for the extensions. (FireFox DE is not suitable for this)
- This is the openness of FireFox? Internet freedom? Respect for users and
- developers?
- Mozilla officials just don't listen to any arguments and don't even think about
- how to faithfully fulfil at least their own decisions.
- Helping for Mozilla now, you help for the mad officials.
- You are harming to people.
- You're helping to torture and bullying under extension developers.
- You are help to make evil.
- I write this only because FireFox is a really good browser. I don't want to use
- another!
- Help me as you can.
- Stop you work. Do not help Mozilla to bear evil and turn from a good company at
- a mad officials like the deceased USSR.
- It depends on each. It depends on you.
- There are no excuses for condoning of torture.
- Bad case cannot be justified by anything. Neither the problems nor a benefit to
- society.

- Mozilla policies
- Hello
- Below in this letter you can find information for the following issues:
- 1. The Mozilla communication policy with other people is offensive and
- ineffective. It brings to rabies and harms the health (I had a hypertensive
- crisis).
- 2. The AMO extensions review policy is well, but its implementation is
- offensive and unacceptable about prevent of the extensions development.
- 3. The extensions signing policy is bad, and its implementation make an
- unacceptable obstacle for the extensions developers. This policy is
- unprofessional implemented.
- In advance I apologize, if it's not interesting. However, the policy of Mozilla
- does not allow me to make it to the competent specialists. At the same time,
- Mozilla causes me considerable moral and material harm. I am compelled to
- appeal to the greatest number of people, so the problem became known.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- 1. Turning to the support specialist of any company, I expect he intends to
- solve the problem if possible and appropriate. I also expect that if this is
- not possible, then specialist tell to explain to me why and how can I minimize
- the damage.
- If I developing the FireFox extension, I expect that Mozilla will not interfere
- with me to the extension development. Because it is profitable for Mozilla.
- Also I expect the understanding that I work for free. Which means they have the
- very limited resources, and it is a personal resources. I spend my life for the
- extension development.
- However, Mozilla is doing the opposite.
- For example.
- 1) for a recent discussion of the new policy of the extension signing, the
- developer community have been specified in advance all the problems that arose
- later in its implementation. However, nobody listened to the developers. And
- issues that have been predicted, there was really.
- 2) Mozilla is in no way took into account the opinion of the developers, nor
- the degree of the harm inflicted. Not even bothering to explain what critical
- reason has forced Mozilla to do so. I don't think the explanation about the
- increase in security FireFox here may be the true explanation. Because the harm
- to developers far more than any benefit from the introduction of the new policy
- (see 3. item).
- 3) AMO editors constantly demanding for me the requirements that are not
- described (clearly or generally) in AMO extensions review policy.
- Obviously, if AMO required any requirements for me, I should be able to know in
- advance about the availability of these requirements. Otherwise I can't do
- them.
- For example, if AMO required for me to make the test plan of extension, this
- requirement should be clearly described. Otherwise I imposed unreasonable
- demands, as if it was my fault that I did not provide this plan. (And what
- could be the test plan, if AMO declares that reads all the code of the
- extension??? How do they read?)
- 4) Some of the requirements should not be submitted. For example, the
- requirement to replace the nsIObserverService to sdk/system/events. There is no
- harm for using nsIObserverService. The developer determines what interfaces it
- uses. However, AMO editors believe that they can interfere in the creative
- process of the extension developing.
- 5) Not everyone is equal before the Mozilla policy. Known extensions are review
- faster. Simple extension (that is useless) passes review faster then a
- difficult extensions.
- Some additions described violate policy Mozilla. Because they "allowed".
- However, many others cannot. Where such privileges?
- I don't need to explain the reasons for such problems. Just decide them! These
- reasons are disposable.
- There was no mechanism for complaints. So, complaints about inadequate
- requirements AMO editors to go Jorge Villalobos (must die).
- Complaints about the harm of Mozilla's policies go to Jorge Villalobos (must
- die) too.
- Complaints Jorge Villalobos go to Jorge Villalobos (must die) too.
- However, he is not going to listen for arguments. Does not intend to amend the
- policy or to solve problems. He has "no time" for me. He has "thousands of
- add-ons". Why you need Jorge, if he has no time for anyone?
- He is not going to listen. He is not going to solve the problem.
- This man serves to pretend only that listening to me.
- This will not work. I'm not stupid. I understand, when people listening to me,
- and when people make me to going.
- Why would Mozilla to produce of enemies? You so want to them?
- Conclusions:
- 1) Any action by authorised persons must be posiible to challenged by other
- authorised persons.
- 2) Don't make authorised persons who pretend to listen. But do not have the
- authority, ability and willingness.
- 3) Problems must have solve, and do not tell how difficult it to solve and
- their causes.
- It are possible to resolving. If there are no people, then you must admit that
- there are no people. And to make the procedure to simpler.

- 2. The Existing extension review policy does not update the add-on in good
- time. Updating them takes at least several months. I talking about useful
- extensions. That is about complex extensions.
- 1) AMO is unable to support the declared certification (review) policy for
- extensions.
- 2) AMO should to cancel the all extensions checks, except for security checks.
- Check is good, but AMO is unable to hold them.
- 3) As suggested by another person, if the AMO does not have time to certify the
- extension within 10 days, it should be published without certification (only
- for extensions with certificated versions).
- 4) The developer channel should work with automatic signature in any case (only
- for extensions with certificated versions). The lack of a developer channel
- makes it impossible to solve many problems.
- 5) If 10 days is too low, set a longer period, subject to item 3) .
- Extension development impossible without it. Notice, the NoScript extension and
- the some other extensions obviously gets earlier reviews of other. And the only
- reason he lives.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- 3.
- To the extension signing must check only what you can really check. No
- statically check by regex for the preferences name. It can be bypassed.
- I don't know what caused such a critical change in policy. Why are they so
- quick that there is no way to keep up with them. But, in any case, protecting
- some people, no need to kill others people.
- I think that if the extension in AMO more than 1 year, then it is quite
- possible to enable automatic signing the developer channel.
- The problem is too acute, to be neglected by developers.
- Even I myself will soon not be able to use their own addition, if all of this
- continues to be so. DE and Nightly not meant for everyday use. But there is no
- other version, which would take unsigned extensions.
- It, including, will affect the quality of testing extensions. Since before the
- publication of the extension, the developer will now not be able to use it
- independently in usual daily work. Thus, many errors will not be found by the
- developer and the users.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------
- And again, people who participate in discussions by Mozilla, must be
- authoritative. Jorge Villalobos must die. He doesn't make decisions. And Jorge
- not qualified to evaluate what the developers say. He can't even explain why
- adopted one or the other.
- He can only ban.
- And no one person can do this. Or FireFox developers should make the complaint
- themselves or Mozilla will also, as before, to torment the extensions
- developers.
- STOP MOCK ON THE EXTENSION DEVELOPERS!
- Ask for help from everyone. Bullying and torturing under people is
- unacceptable!
- END.
