1011320 - Blocklist SaveSense add-ons

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Blocklist Policy Requests, defect)

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

These add-ons seem to be all foreign installs with a bunch of randomly-generated GUID IDs. I don't know where they come from or what they do.

Sample IDs:

{2d7886a0-85bb-4bf2-b684-ba92b4b21d23} 500K enabled, 750K disabled
{8b337819-d1e8-48d3-8178-168ae8c99c36} 200K enabled, 250K disabled
{2fab2e94-d6f9-42de-8839-3510cef6424b} 65K enabled, 80K disabled

Hello Eugene,

We have some questions regarding your add-ons:

1) How many different add-on IDs are you using to distribute them, and can you give us a list of the ones you've used?

2) Howe are the add-ons distributed? Your website, third parties, other?

We also need you to take some time to read our Add-on Guidelines: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Add-on_guidelines and forward it to your development team.

Please get back to us soon, or we might need to block your add-on.
