Renaming an extension
I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:
"name": "eBird reviewer utilities", "version": "1.3.46",
to
"name": "eBird reviewer assistant", "version": "1.3.47",
(This was sufficient for Chrome.)
Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.
I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)
However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)
So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?
