Update: Home Page » Developers Section of the Website
The Mozilla Update Website allows addon authors to upload their own items.
Welcome Page
Also known as the Developers Control Panel (or Developers CP), when you enter /developers/ you are prompted to login or create an account.
Main Page
Once you've logged in, you're presented with a brief overview of the addons you've submitted and links to submit more.
User Profile
Each user is able to edit their own profile. Here you specify your name, email, and personal website. By default, your email address is not listed on the end-user website. Administrators are also presented with the ability to manage the permissions level of the user.
A user can be designated as an Administrator, Editor (aka Moderator) or User (aka Developer).
If a user is marked as Trusted, then their submissions skip the approval queue.
User Manager
An administrator has a list of all users and their permissions. From this screen mass updates are available. There is also a link for creating a new user.
Listings
Available to administrators only, a list of every item can be shown. On the sidebar are links to the Extensions List and Themes List. This shows the name, description, and date last updated. The name is a link to edit each item.
Approval Queue
Each submission must be approved by an Editor or Administrator before it is listed on the site. Addons must be tested according to the rules specified in the Policy and Procedures. Whether approved or denied, an email is sent to the authors. A comment is required if denied. If approved, the addon is moved to a directory so that it can be replicated across the mozilla.org mirrors.

Creating an Account
To create an account, you must supply a username and password. A confirmation email is sent to your account. A row is inserted into the userprofile table.
Uploading an Item
You begin the process by browsing your hard drive and selecting the addon. This file is then uploaded to a temp directory. It will remain there until it is either approved or denied.
