Zotero add-on is no longer available at Mozilla's add-ons
I noticed the Zotero add-on is no longer available at Mozilla's add-ons area
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotero/?src=search
It notes "This add-on has been removed by its author".
Will it be available in the future from Mozilla?
Will we only be able to get the add-on at zotero.org from now on?
If I get the add-on from zotero.org, will it be able to check for updates?
If I get the add-on from zotero.org, can I install it over the old 3.0.11 that I got from Mozilla? Or do I have to remove the old add-on first?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Ultimately, addons.mozilla.org just isn't designed to review add-ons of our size. A few months ago we had to start emailing the editors to manually upload the XPIs because their automated validator wasn't even able to finish checking all of Zotero's source code before timing out.
The reviews and Featured status on AMO were nice, but we suspect only a small percentage of our AMO users actually discovered Zotero there. We think most probably found out about Zotero separately and just downloaded it from there because they saw it in search results or because they installed it directly from the Add-ons window in Firefox.
