Add-ons Manager Redesign

This redesign will substantially improve the basic functionality of the a add-ons manager, such as installation and configuration of add-ons, as well as incorporate additional features and functionality, such as use of Personas and Jetpacks. The design will also remove parts of the manager that interrupt and distract user tasks.

Discovery Pane

As a part of this redesign project the Discovery Pane has its own testplan.

Testday: Focused Areas

On April 29th, the initial state of the new Add-ons Manager has been landed on trunk. That means we will have brand new nightly builds for each supported locale. Those builds can be found here:

Downloads: latest-mozilla-central, latest-mozilla-central-l10n

The following new bugs have been found during the testday.

Because the whole ui is by far in a final state we cannot execute our complex testing scenario. For the testday itself we should focus the areas below:

  • Panes which do not fully work at the moment
    • Get Addons
    • Languages
    • Search Engines
    • Extended Diggest view (double clicking an extension)
  • Extensions
    • Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling extensions / jetpacks
    • Enabling and disabling extensions
    • Incompatible extensions
    • Blocklisted extensions
    • Searching for extensions (only local ones at the moment)
  • Themes
    • Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling themes / personas
    • Selecting different themes
  • Plugins
    • Enabling and disabling plugins
    • Blocklisted plugins
  • Others
    • Upgrade and downgrade scenarios (Firefox 3.6 <-> Minefield)
    • Private Browsing mode
