Add-on blocked for violating Mozzila's policies
An Add-on (a theme) I've been using, Graphite Grace by compilan, has been removed with the following message:
"This add-on is blocked for violating Mozzila's policies and has been disabled".
As a user, I feel I have the right to know what policies were violated, and whether the add-on was indeed malicious as well as what data may have been compromised. Where can I get that information?
被選擇的解決方法
We’ve been experiencing a large amount of malicious users and activity related to extensions submissions and took action yesterday to make sure users visiting addons.mozilla.org are not exposed to that.
Unfortunately, a few legitimate accounts were caught in this as well.
Developer of that theme should contact AMO admins to unblock it.

Hi, our AMO admins are currently analyzing it. I'll get back to you as soon as I have any updates.
For a theme, it couldn't be malicious and it doesn't store any data.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out! Could you please go to the Firefox menu > Extensions and themes > Themes (?), find the blocked theme there, click the "See details" button and share a link that opens? That will let us identify the add-on and check what happened there. (You can see how it looks like here.)

Hey Denys, TyDraniu,
Thank you for the information! The extension no longer shows as being blocked by Mozilla, and is available again on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/graphite-grace/
This must have been, as TyDraniu said, due to the large amount of reported malicious activity that resulted in some legitimate accounts being affected. Good news to me!
Thanks again!
