Creating a URL on addons.mozilla.org is throwing an error:

Error: Missing host permission for the tab

Hmmm.

fwenzel commented 7 years ago

Aha! Add-ons do not work on restricted pages such as about: and AMO. I just need to catch and expose the error.

So can not get short URL for AMO now?

fwenzel commented 7 years ago

Correct. It is possible that there is a workaround but by default add-ons do not have the necessary permissions needed to run on AMO.
