I published an abrowser add-on with the wrong URL. I find no way to edit or delete the unusable add-on.

To reformulate it as a question. How can I edit my published abrowser add-on?
You need to log in and click on the "edit" tab at the top right of the page.
Thank you for pushing me into the right direction, but I found no site with edit to change my add-on. But I was able to change my add-on by 1) login, 2) click "my account" on the right sidebar, 3) click "Track" on the top right of the page and 4) click on the desired add-on post. I was not able to delete the add-on, but at least to write a coming soon note.
I see, I thought you only wanted to edit your add-on page. You can also access it through the add-on list on this page: https://trisquel.info/en/browser.
To ask for permanent or temporary removal of your add-on page, I believe you should use the contact form available under "Contact" in the right-hand menu. The add-ons themselves seem to be hosted on third-party servers, which is probably where you can modify them.
I clicked on a random add-on and clicked the edit button, and the website gave me the editing page, even though I'm not the author or submitter of the addon. Do we all have edit privileges for everyone's addons? That could be bad, could be seen as a vulnerability, possibly allowing a bad person to switch out a normal addon for malware or something.
Edit: I've attached a screenshot of what I mean.
There is an inherent risk with installing add-ons anyway, since they are by definition third-party. There may also be a broader question of how the Abrowser add-on list is curated. Most of the links I tried to follow are broken. This is currently an 18 page list, so I cannot promise to go through it this week-end, but I may start listing all the ones that are currently borked and send that to someone with page removal privileges.
Also, while installing one that works, like LibreJS, the security warnings link to the "Page does not exist" page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/unlisted-extensions-risks
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/extension-permissions
UPDATE: I have compiled all the broken entries from the add-on list. It mostly looks like a huge (330+) pile of XUL deprecation victims. I only browsed the "extension" category, so this excludes translations and themes. I am getting about 50 entries where either the source or the install link simply needs updating. Or so it seems.
Oh, interesting. A lot of those xul extensions could be made to work on Libre Moon. That's a lot of extensions!
Possibly, but we Abrowser die-hards have been informed that our add-on future is in Mozzarella.
Bon appétit!
