Section snippets

Assets

  • Write benefit-first listing copy; avoid claims you can’t prove.
  • Provide alt text for screenshots. Keep captions factual.

Permissions

  • Justify each permission; prefer narrow host patterns.
  • Use optional permissions where possible.

Reviewer Q&A

  • Prepare short, factual replies; link evidence (logs, screenshots).
  • Answer exactly what was asked; avoid speculation.

Requirements & policy basics

Know which policies apply (user data, limited use, automation) and reference them in your listing.

Privacy disclosures & labels

Labels must reflect real data flows; keep retention and usage wording accurate.

Submission workflow (& re-submissions)

Submit with correct assets, reply quickly to reviews, include logs/screenshots when asked.

Post-approval updates & change control

Document changes, update disclosures, and note permission diffs in release notes.

Edge/Firefox differences

Copy updates to Edge Add-ons / Firefox AMO with small asset and manifest tweaks.

Common rejection reasons (and fixes)

  • Over-broad host permissions → narrow patterns, add optional permissions.
  • Privacy mismatch → align labels to actual data paths.
  • Unclear purpose → rewrite listing copy to emphasize user benefit.
