For example, I've found a spam "theme"

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/wwwmichaelkorsoutletspacom-sisaui

and FlashVideoReplacer

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/flashvideoreplacer

no longer exists. In addition, a few of the freely-licensed extensions I like to use (findbar tweak, adblock edge fork of abp, tos;dr) are not listed. I'd be willing to help with this if someone would point me in the right direction.

Okay, I think what I'll do is edit the two broken ones to be different extensions (can't figure out how to just delete them). I've also found the "Create content" button on the right that lets you submit new addons.

Edit - I've replaced the two bad links I found with Terms of Service; Didn't Read and Adblock Edge. For ABE I had to choose the license as MPL 1.1, because 2.0 wasn't an option for some reason, although 2.0 is listed here:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

as free.

Here's another one that seems to be missing: Torbutton (https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/torbutton). I can't find it on the Firefox addons database, either.

I've gone through the first five pages of the addons. The following addons no longer exist, or are not installable on the current version of Abrowser:

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/aardvark
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/add-art

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/firefm
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/firebible
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/firefogg

In addition, the following themes prompt to download (unopenable?) .jar files rather than prompting to install:

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/aeon
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/ambient-fox-xyan
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/black-steel
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/blackx
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/curacao
https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/elementary-theme

I'll try to look through the other pages shortly. Can someone instruct me on a way to delete these addons from the site?

I hope you have separate lists for don't install and doesn't exist as the don't install ones could get updated and then work again.

We cannot delete those items as far as I know.

The addons break often temporarily because the browser is updated in such breakneck pace.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for the work you're doing; it's not easy to keep the list updated and protected from spam, and as another community member wrote, the add-ons frequently stop working for the current version of the browser, but provided that the link included was for the _latest_ pseudo-file, they will be relevant again when fixed.

I'll go through that list and delete the inappropriate ones (I've already deleted those first two duplicates), and for any other problems that any of you find with the list, don't hesitate on posting here or opening a ticket in the issue system.

In any case, the list in itself needs some work to make it better, like a better search control for instance, it's long been in our slow TODO list, we'll try to get to it soon.

Thanks again everybody for helping!

Also, after changing this one

https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons/flashvideoreplacer

to ABE, it's still listed in there as FlashVideoReplacer.

Why change it to Adblock? Wouldn't it make more sense to redirect it to another addon that does a similar job?

In retrospect, yes, I was just replacing one that did not work with one that did. I did this for two of the broken ones, but only FlashVideoReplacer didn't have its entry removed.
