Is there an up to date version on github. I could only find an archived one that's 7 years old (https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-firefox).

Thanks for reporting, I was not aware!

Looks like Mozilla decided to pull it out of the blue? Logged in and saw this:

As you can see, I replied and hope they relist it soon.

The correct repo is: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-web

Also reported here: ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-web#94

Edit: It has now been 16 days without reply from Mozilla...

Edit 2: Made a post on their forums: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/add-on-disabled-after-1y-16-days-without-reply-action/107797

Edit 3: After much back and forth with Mozilla's incompetent reviewers who can't follow simple instructions, they wrote the following, with my reply:

The links:

• https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/add-on-policies/#data-disclosure-collection-and-management
• https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/best-practices-for-collecting-user-data-consents/

I have no interest in satisfying these pointless rules, which provide no user protection at all.

If anyone wants to do the work, be my guest, but I have no more patience with the Mozilla Addons people.

@omniraptorr It was unfortunately rejected again. Have not had time to dig into the details yet.

i think they mean it's not acceptable to have an enterprise policy that makes it possible for the extension to "auto-accept" its own consent. so the check

try {
  if (await browser.storage.managed.get("consentOfflineDataCollection")) {
    return false
  }
} catch (e) {
  console.error('managed storage error: ', e)
  return true
}

should be removed (alongside the policy instructions in the readme). let me know if you want me to pr it.

[ErikBjare]

I've just resubmitted a version with the managed storage pre-consent feature disabled.

[johan-bjareholt]

Finally, the extension got approved!!!

Yeah, thanks a lot for your continued work on this!

Can we convert this to an issue? I'd like to be able to be notified solely of its remediation, rather than be subscribed for every update.

[flexagoon]

What do you want to be notified about? This is already solved, the addon is available on AMO

Sorry, @flexagoon, couldn't find it for whatever reason. Found it now. Apologies.
