The file size limit is 4/4.5MB.

I work at Virtru. The short summary is that we make a client-side encryption extension for the content of your email. There are certainly things we can do to reduce the file size. However, the business value of doing so is limited, particularly in the context of an extension. It is also much more limited when Firefox itself is vastly less popular than Chrome today and we have no issues from Chrome.

We use webpack, so all our dependencies, which may not be optimized for file size for browser usage get pulled in as well.

As I previously stated, so not sure why I'm having to repeat this, that the entire process due to the minification creates a huge barrier for any business that is trying to fix things in a reasonable amount of time. You get thrown into an admin queue, which moves at a snail's pace, EVERY time you upload a new version you have to add instructions again, EVERY time there is a different reviewer with the same question you have to answer them again. Mozilla isn't sitting there actually reviewing your source code in an intelligent way. We were dinged on 2 uses of eval. What is hilarious the uses came from within very well known libraries, jQuery, and Bluebird. If they were really reading the source code, they would have known that we didn't write that, 1 of the uses we never call the function that contained it, and bluebird is using it as a de-optimization strategy to prevent a function optimization that make objects fast.
