Changes

When a new add-on version is uploaded to addons.mozilla.org (AMO), the [https://github.com/mozilla/addons-linter/ addons-linter] runs a set of validation checks for potential issues. Following this validation, add-ons are signed and listed on AMO immediately. They are then shown in the list of auto-approved add-ons in the reviewer tools.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the review queue is sorted according to weight, otherwise known as risk. The highest weighted add-ons are sorted at the top of the list.

When looking at the review page, you will see information on the latest add-on version that was submitted. It may contain notes from the developer in the “Notes to Reviewers” section. There may also be past conversation between reviewers and developers that you should read.

Unless an add-on was just recently submitted, it will have past versions that will also contain notes. You do not need to read through each and every version’s notes, but it is helpful to read up on the notes from the last rejection or confirmed approval to ensure all issues are taken care of.
