I had a lot of trouble trying to publish to the Mozilla Add ons store. It seems they don't like the fact that the code is all compressed and that there are binaries present.

I like the concept of write once for all platforms, but I ended up just converting to a plain Vanilla JS userscript instead.

The extension was built as a proof of concept and to evaluate OpenForge as a possible solution to the problem of cross-platform extensions. I won't be pursuing the add-on I built with this, so this is not a critical issue for me personally, but it may be something that helps others if it gets fixed. Hope this helps!
