NOTE: I wrote this on WordPress.com and would've put it in the add-ons blog as a draft to review, but I am having some LDAP error and can't publish it there. So here it is for review, let me know!
The state of add-ons has changed a lot over the past five years, with Jetpack add-ons rising in popularity and Web Extensions on the horizon. Our validation process hasn't changed as much as the ecosystem it validates, so today Mozilla is announcing its new Add-ons Validator, written in JS and available for testing today!
Add-ons are a huge part of the Firefox system and a fantastic reason to use Firefox. We already have [NUMBER OF ADDONS] available and with work underway to allow Web Extensions in Firefox, we'll see a lot more soon. For add-ons to be listed on the Firefox Add-ons site, they need to be reviewed and approved by Mozi
