AMO Updates
Since the site launched a couple weeks ago, the AMO crew has been working diligently to polish off some of the rough edges and fix the bugs that have been reported. We’ve pushed an update to the site tonight that:
- Fixes files that couldn’t be downloaded
- Updates for all 13 languages currently offered
- Fixes add-on data that was being encoded improperly (And removed the excessive encoding of some data)
- Added a localizer control panel
- Fixes a problem with language fall back
- Fixes over 80 total bugs, many from v2, including one filed from 2004.
Thanks to everyone who reported or commented on a bug, or who got on IRC to let us know something needed to be looked at.
How about fixing the default sort order? Sorting by name is useless.
It probably should be mentioned that most people will only see 79 bugs in that list – rest of them is marked security sensitive
The site is broken. Were these updates the cause?
> The site is broken. Were these updates the cause?
Nope. We had some unrelated failures which compounded with the performance issues and caused the site to be unavailable briefly today.
We found some code we could modify that provides a significant speed boost (cpu-wise) and, after pushing an update, the servers’ load was hovering around a very satisfying 1 today during peak times.
I still cannot delete extension versions that are in sandbox.
Hello,
thanks for the great work.
Will u please look to the MZ feedback thread of upcomnig Thunderbird 2.0 ? An issue with installing TB-add-ons is discribed there. I am not sure if this is a bug; so not, sorry for blog spam. Thanks in advance…

what about download counters? why did you remove it?
I enjoyed to know how many people download and use my plugin
Hashi: There not removed, but you can only see them from the main developers page after you log in, not on the extensions page like it should be
I was also under the impression that the download counts would be public with this release. At least that was what I was assured by the powers that be on irc.mozilla.org#addons. Is there a technical reason why this isn’t being done? Or is it just a low priority?
The day Remora was alive, I got half as many new users per day as before (personal data I got from registrating users).
I guess this is because the number of downloads and the total rating is not displayed…
How come ?
Could you fix this ? thanks
sort order: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375764
download counts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371836
Just a question. What is average time between public nomination to public release of extensions?
What’ wrong?
Reading the Newsfeed on AMO for Thunderbird with my Reader , I realize, that there are often Add-Ons in the listing which belong only to Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addons/rss/newest
https://addons.mozilla.org/rss/thunderbird/extensions/updated/
Example:
Yesterday was mentioned the extension “Separate Tabs” as “New Extension for Thunderbird” (compare the link above):
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/4913
Additionally, link works and after loading I recognize, that it is not a extension for Thunderbird.
What’s wrong?
I don’t suppose were going to add in the old comments at all anymore?
