I created a small add-on and I signed it with jpm sign so I can install it on a few computers. Being my first add-on I created a throwaway account on Firefox Addons to see how things go. After my success I created my main account and deleted the throwaway one, but when I tried to sign my add-on with the new credentials, I got this:
JPM [error] Server response: You do not own this addon. ( status: 403 )
JPM [info] FAIL
I tried to delete my Add-on account but it said I can't while I have add-ons under my account, but it let me delete my Firefox account. When I realised the jpm error I tried to log back to Firefox Add-ons which doesn't recognise me because my Firefox account is deleted (Seriously? How did they designed this system?) so now I only have my source code which doesn't let me sign with different credentials.
Is there a way to re-sign my add-on with the new credentials, without creating a new add-on? Can I change add-on ownership? How can I delete my add-on if I can't log in to my account?
You have to email [email protected] (they'll loop in [email protected] )and they'll help you access your old account. You'll have to prove somehow it was you. Once on the old account you have to delete the old addon listing, so it frees up the addon id.
The only way you can do this without having to email, is by using a new id for your addon.
