What happened to activity watch firefox browser extension?

Hi,

I notice the Firefox add-on link on the homepage has been down for a while. Search “activity watch” or “aw-watcher” on AMO also returns no result.

Wondering what has happened on that add-on. If it has stopped working for some reason, maybe it is useful to include a link to some notes why it is not supported right now.

Thanks for developing activity watch.

We ca…n’t find that page If you’ve followed a link from another site for an extension or theme, that item is no longer available. This could be because: The developer removed it. Developers commonly do this because they no longer support the extension or theme, or have replaced it. Mozilla removed it. This can happen when issues are found during the review of the extension or theme, or the extension or theme has been abusing the terms and conditions for addons.mozilla.org. The developer has the opportunity to resolve the issues and make the add-on available again. Try visiting the page later, as the theme or extension may become available again.

This pull request addresses the issue raised [here](https://github.com/orgs/Acti…vityWatch/discussions/818). This should satisfy the Mozilla addon review team. I have written a small Privacy Notice in `static/consent.html`, no idea if this is enough and if it can be used as a privacy policy for the whole addon... I have added a saveguard to the normal addon popup page. If the user dismisses the privacy notice, the enable checkbox is disabled and a button is shown that shows the consent popup again. I tested this with latest Firefox and Chromium.

It seems the code is ready. Could someone with access to the firefox add-on try to upload the new version for review?
