Spam clones of The Last.fm Debloater

[GrippenDynamik]

Someone uploaded copies of your extension to AMO:

Last.fm Aesthetic Craftsman Last.fm Aesthetic Master Last.fm Customizer Pro Last.fm Design Modifier Last.fm Design Optimizer Last.fm Design Tamer Last.fm Design Wizardry Last.fm Enhancement Suite Last.fm Interface Craftsman Last.fm Interface Refiner Last.fm Interface Sculptor Last.fm Interface Wizard Last.fm Interface Wizardry Last.fm Personalized Design Last.fm Style Editor Pro Last.fm Tweaks Master Last.fm UI Modifier Pro

All of these extensions have the same name and version in manifest.json:

• "name": "The Last.fm Debloater",
• "version": "1.6.1"

The support site and/or user homepage links are SEO spam. That's why I didn't include links to the extensions. But if you want, I'll post them.

How I found out about the problem: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/someone-published-a-copy-of-my-add-on-on-amo/123606 (I'm not the OP)

If you want to report the clones, the relevant Add-on Policies are:

• If the add-on is a fork of another add-on, the name must clearly distinguish it from the original and provide a significant difference in functionality and/or code.
• Add-ons with the sole purpose of promoting, installing, loading or launching another website, application or add-on are not permitted.

Thanks for the heads up, that's pretty funny. Feel free to post the links to their addon pages and I'll report them.

By the way, the spammer copied your repo but didn't bother to compile the .ts files. Firefox doesn't show any errors when you install the extension.

I guess that's one way of doing it, but I prefer to maintain compatibility with older versions of Firefox if possible.
