Unable to upload an add-on to 'addons.mozilla.org': 'This name is already in use', on *every* name combination. Is every name taken or is this a bug?

more options

I am unable to upload an add-on to 'addons.mozilla.org'.

Reaching stage 2 of the upload process, I upload my add-on, all OK. However when I click 'continue', I am greeted with the following error message:

'This name is already in use. Please choose another.'

I have tried many combinations of names, and I still get the same message.

I have tried the following names: testName.alksdfjalsdfjalkdsfjalkdfjalkfdjlkasjdfoij4o2jrojlsdkfjalkdfaj.xpi powaTechnologiesLtd-ptmt-1.1.1.xpi powaTechnologies-ptmt-1.1.1.xpi ptmt-1.1.1.xpi

etc.


Is there something wrong with the file name, or perhaps a bug within the Mozilla Add-on interface?

Myself and my company would really like to upload a new add-on that we have developed; unfortunately we are unable to do this.

All the best,

Tony

Hi,

The Mozilla Add-ons Forum and the MozillaZine Forum would also be helpful.
