Attachment: nonallowed.png

I was trying to change some words to bold in my add-on description:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2

And I get the error "Not Allowed" (see screenshot).

I tried both with "<strong>" and with "<b>".

Haven't tried anything else, so not sure if this is the only issue.

I tried removing and adding back some <strong> tags and that worked for me without any problems. Can you still reproduce this? Does it happen every time you try to edit the add-on, regardless of what the edit is?

Jorge,

I go to the add-on page, login, select "Manage" and then go to the technical details and tried to add "<strong>":
4) <a href=http://www.wiktionary.org>Wiktionary</a> <strong>(used with caution)</strong>;
5) <a href=http://www.wikipedia.org/>Wikipedia</a> <strong>(used with caution)</strong>;

It still gives the error.

I have only tried to edit here because I am scared of damaging by mistake.

A couple of days ago or so I replaced the three Windows 8.1 screenshots with Windows 10 screenshots without any problems.

Okay, I can reproduce this bug following these STR:

1) Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/edit
2) Scroll down to Technical Details and click on the Edit button.
3) Click on Save Changes (no need to change anything).

Result:

Oops! Not allowed.

Expected result:

Form should be properly saved.

Additional notes:

* I can reproduce it on other add-on pages: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/remote-xul-manager/edit
* The Required Add-ons field looks strange in Edit mode, since there's only a label and no input.
* When I click on the Edit button, I see this error in the Console:
TypeError: c.autocomplete(...).data(...) is undefined devhub-min.js:1:18863

we're experiencing this bug.
just clicking save without editing produces oops.
