Nice for the extension developer, but there's a reason for Mozilla's longer review process. They actually sit down human beings to look over the code and that makes all the difference in keeping AMO clean from malware.

Most people never install any extension from third-party sites. As long as Firefox keeps the search features as they are, very few will ever venture outside addons.mozilla.org.
