To the developer and who ever may agree with their rant:
You have zero understanding of security unfortunately. Forcing 2FA is not meant to force *YOU* into being more secure. It is in order to guarantee the safety of your *USERS* and by proxy Firefox's users. If your account gets hijacked, your addon can be used to hijack user's browsers.
2FA makes sure that YOU are the only one updating an addon. And also it removes any "plausible deniability" in case an addon has been found to do something questionable. An author can't claim "my account was hacked hence I didn't add that to the code".
It is in EVERYONE's best interest to enforce 2FA and you have no right to refuse security to millions of users with such a moronic excuse that has no merit at all. Enabling 2FA on your account, all it needs is a SINGLE email address. No other information AT ALL.
So we can safely conclude that the author addon specifically does not want to enable 2FA on his account for malicious reasons or he's a complete idiot who did not bother to even check what the process entails and also has zero understanding of security concepts. In any case an audit of the addon's code is in order and we should look for alternatives anyhow as after his statement we have exactly 0 trust in the author.
EDIT: This is a reply to the developer's reply. The world has ALWAYS been wicked. From its inception. It is exactly for this reason that security is required. You may be fed up with the state of the world, I am as well, but this has nothing to do with this particular case. If anything, enforcing 2FA on addon uploads helps REDUCE the effects of the wickedness you're talking about and your stance is literally opposing this. Intuition means nothing in this particular case because it's as simple as 1+1=2 and that's non-negotiable fact. It's not something that your intuition may later on prove you correct or anything of the sort. The facts are these:
1) Addons, through their legitimately required for functioning permissions, provide an attack vector for mallicious users.
2) If someone gets access to your account, ALL your userbase is made vulnerable to the attacker.
3) By enabling 2FA on your account you make fact number 2, extremely more difficult to occur.
4) By enforcing 2FA on all addon authors you literally protect millions of users using addons.
It is that simple. So it all boils down to:
A) Do you want millions of users in increased danger because you don't want to provide a single email address (that you may even just use for this reason alone and nothing else) just because your "intuition" tells you otherwise, defying all laws of logic and reason?
B) Do you actually want to help the web and millions of users' devices be safer and more private by making an effort to understand why and support this change by doing something as simple as adding 2FA to your account?
The choice is yours. Make no mistake, this is exactly what you're being called to choose. There are no buts or gray areas. It's either A or B.

Svar frå utviklaren
posta 4 år sidanClearly I revealed some ignorance on my part of how 2FA works, but really, the details weren't the important thing. The point was, I was coming up to yet one more thing that makes this world confusing, stressful and a drag. I am 63 years old and grew up in a much more simple time. But more importantly, this was one more thing which is but another poignant symptom of an insanely wicked and declining world, and it would be a constant reminder of it. I then thought, "Okay, I'm done. This isn't fun for me anymore, and I don't need it." I am one who behaves largely out of intuition and I have found that whenever I've been true to that, I later could look back and see how it was the right choice, even though at the time it didn't sound logical or reasonable to some.
I've received about 25 emails now which have all been positive, ranging from extremely supportive, to folks kindly making efforts (successfully) to inform my thinking on 2FA, to folks just expressing their sadness to see I'm quitting. To those folks I am very thankful. They were a sweet contrast to the vitriolic messages that have been published here.
I have always felt that the gifts given to me are not mine to profit from, and have enjoyed sharing them freely with others. There is a pleasant side-effect to living this way and that is I am always free and not beholding to anyone. My public contribution of ATH was for a season, and now it looks like the season has changed.
Regarding the current state of ATH, remember, it is still a working app, still available on AMO, and probably will run for a long time before some Firefox update introduces a bug. I've had maybe one or two bugs introduced from FF updates in 4 years, which have been minor ones. ATH is open source and maybe at some point someone will fork it and continue to update it. The source code is in the addon itself; the .xpi file is just a zipped file. Unzip it and you have the source.
Again here is a link to the last version (in case it disappears from AMO due to lack of updates,) as well as a link to it with a .zip extension (so Firefox doesn't try to install it.):

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 12489259, 5 månader sidanExcellent!
Not perfect but very powerful.
Having now 1300+ tabs, and trying to clean up,
I could close dups much easily than before.
Some caveats thought:
1) compatibility with Sidebery (groups are seen as duplicates)
2) containers handling (because of Sidebery ?) are not recognized
3) it took me a while to understand that the numbers in brackets where refeering to a window id. I am using Window Tiler to given them a name.
A documentation would help. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 18159242, 7 månader sidanThis was my go to tab manager since I have hundreds of tabs open and I'm afraid to simply close all of them, but also lazy to review them one by one.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Geralt, 3 år sidanI use this addons lot of time and it is very usefully when someone like to have open lot of tabs.
But discover bug. When try use "Full View window" then have a new window on windows bar but this option dont show to me window.
Few weeks ago this work ok. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Grant, 3 år sidan

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av SpankyPants, 3 år sidanWhen scrolling through tabs, it scrolls more than one page at a time. How can I change this to only scroll one or three lines at a time? Thanks.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Brundibar, 3 år sidanOnce you try this tool you think OMG how could I live without it ?!
I appreciate mainly saving my time and preventing from opening duplicate tabs. Thank you Kevin ! - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 17221071, 3 år sidan
- Vurdering: 4 av 5av I_I, 4 år sidanSO it places All tabs to a Side Window List. Too Bad doesn't Separate which tabs are in different window. IT SHOWS ALL TABS IN THE SIDE BAR.
Can't see the list of Closed Tabs & can't Remove the Close TAB button from accidental select. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av JustforComment, 4 år sidanI made an account just to review this and say thank you. I saw you got a lot of negative bustle from some people. Just wanted to let you know I love this and use it often.
If I had one request, if you are still active with this project, is to allow the Full View to drop back like any other window. Small thing and personal to me I am sure lol.
Again thank you this is amazing. - Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox user 16979356, 4 år sidanIt works more stable than tree tab viewers.
But for several thousand tabs there is a few seconds delay even for several recent tabs.
Also, for sidebar mouse wheel minimum move scrolls several pages instead of only one page. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av circcc, 4 år sidanThe faster it boils, the faster it cools. There were too many useless features, and it seems like burnout came in the end. I've seen many cases like this.
- Vurdering: 5 av 5av bLoodyBios, 4 år sidanMust have! Really helpfull!
idea: when you open helper in separated window, it will be perfect, if focus will be in search input, so you can start typing immideately - Vurdering: 5 av 5av admin-cwp-md, 4 år sidanThis extension is indispensable. I use it everyday all day long and require it to keep my work organized. There is no other extension that works this well, is this reliable and provides this exceptional capability. Use it and you will see the same.
