Huji,

They applied the same “logic” to the sandbox as they apply to the recommended list.

Since one can read the "tragetPlatform" tags in the install.rdf to get the platform info, should I use "All" options during submission or submit platform specific XPI files. I submitted separate files for Windows and Linux for my extension, and extension download link is visible for only Linux platform. I found that it is actually random. Most probably, page dos not match taget browser with all possible platform specific files. IMO, Multiple platform option is not working.

I would also like it if we left the visit extension's homepage link at the bottom It would have been nice to let us know what the sandbox and crap ment.

Best to document new specification completely and make readily available before launch. Huji,

From the dev panel I have: version 0.2.2 - Sandbox version 0.2.1 - Sandbox version 0.2 - Public If I search my extension, I can find only 0.2 in the sandbox. I don't understand why? I’ve still the same problem.
From the dev panel I have:
version 0.2.2 – Sandbox
version 0.2.1 – Sandbox
version 0.2 – Public

If I search my extension, I can find only 0.2 in the sandbox.
I don’t understand why?

Right now it appears to be completely arbitrary. And very unfair. People worked hard on their extensions and themes, and they deserve better than this.

Otherwise they will stay in the sandbox with other experimental extensions where they can only be downloaded by registered users who explicitly stated that they want to see the sandbox. I just checked - out of the 54 bugs I reported only 8 are open (two will still be addressed before the launch I guess). Great job, guys! This time Remora is in a much better shape for a release.

None of the extensions that are old (atleast mine) don't show up on the new site. Why? Um, I found a bug. None of the extensions that are old (atleast mine) don’t show up on the new site. Why?
