I just need the time to accomodate such feature requests, but in the meantime I'm concerned my novel ideas will be "borrowed" by other extension authors with similar extensions.
Isn't the whole idea of "open source" to allow "novel ideas" to be "borrowed", so long as the borrower acknowledges the source and returns the favor? It sounds like you are looking for a "freely distributable" license instead of an "open source" license. That is a perfectly valid choice, but it apparently clashes with current MozDev policy.
Which then leads to the next question: does MozDev want to limit itself to "open source" projects, or include all "freely distributable" software? If there are concerns about code safety, perhaps MozDev could require that source code also be distributed, but not require automatic permission for derived works?
