Block Conditions
== Block Conditions ==
Blocklisting conditions are detailed in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Addons/Add-on_guidelines Add-on Guidelines]. However, the severity of the situation and the impact of dong the block will always be a significant factors in the decision. Acceptable reasons for blocking software include:* Critical security vulnerabilities.* High crash volume (e.g. 10,000 or more in a week)* Malicious in nature.* Severe performance impact (e.g. adds more than 75% to start-up time).* Severe bugs that unintentionally affect core Firefox features.
{{note|The above conditions assume users have chosen to install the add-on or software in question. If the software is installed without user consent, the bar is significantly lower to blocking for the above and other reasons.}}
The following are '''not''' reasons to block an add-on:
* Inclusion of advertisements or other "spyware" tactics, unless users did not choose to install the software or were not made aware of the offending functionality.* Intentional significant changes to or breakage of core Firefox features, unless users did not choose to install the software or were not made aware of the offending functionality.* At request of the vendor/developer, except in extreme circumstances.
