> None of the ones I reported have had their recommended status revoked, several ones have since even been allowed to publish new versions where the same violations are still present

Could you publish these publicly anywhere, so that we can do for ourselves the job that Mozilla apparently is failing to do (while claiming to)?

Here are a few that contained violations at the time when I checked them out last February:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/giphy-for-fir...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabliss/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-subsc...

The official policies can be found here:

https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/add-on-p...

Some highlights of commonly "forgotten" rules:

> No Surprises

> Add-ons must be self-contained and not load remote code for execution.

> Add-ons must limit data collection to what is necessary for functionality [...] Data includes all information the add-on collects, regardless of the manner.

> Collecting, or facilitating the collection of ancillary information (e.g. any data not required for the add-on’s functionality as stated in the description) is prohibited.

> Modifying web content or facilitating redirects to include affiliate promotion tags is not permitted
