The tl;dr seems to be that Mozilla's static analysis tools have some significant issues, their review team's apparent understanding of policies seems at odds with the understanding of at least some important Mozilla devs, and the review process itself lacks a mechanism for dialogue with the reviewers.

Unfortunate for a platform that's already launched.

Still, he did manage to find a human being to talk to (so it's better than Google, which appears not to employee carbon-based lifeforms) and the human beings had the ability to deal with the issue (so it's better than Apple, which does employ lifeforms but doesn't authorise them to make any decisions).

Firefox Marketplace app review manager here...

At the bottom of every review email, it says you can just reply to the email if you have any questions. And as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, reviewers also hang out in #app-reviewers on irc.mozilla.org. We're really trying to make it as easy as possible to reach a real person!

Oddly enough I never got an email, I just saw my rejection on the website.
