== Summary ==
Integrate Plugin Check with installed plugins in the Add-ons Manager.
== Team ==
* '''Feature Manager''': [mailto:mossop@mozilla.com Dave Townsend]
* '''Lead Developer''': TBA
* '''Product Manager''': [mailto:kev@mozilla.com Kev Needham]
* '''QA''': [mailto:hskupin@mozilla.com Henrik Skupin]
* '''UX''': [mailto:jboriss@mozilla.com Jennifer Boriss]
== Release Requirements ==
* ???
== Next Steps & Open Issues ==
* Determine where to retrieve latest plugin info from. Possibilities:
** [[Firefox/Features/PFS2_datasource|PFS2]]
** New API provided by PluginCheck
** PFS1
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==
Bug for this feature is {{bug|613305}}.
Intermediate step is to include a link to the PluginCheck page in the Addons Manager. See:
* [[Features/Firefox/PlugincheckLinkInAOM|Project page]]
* {{bug|656269}}
[[Firefox/Features/PFS2_datasource|PFS2]] may be a dependency.
== Risks ==
TBA.
== Use Cases ==
* Plugin A is out of date. Vendor provides a link to an updated installer. Can download installer directly from Addons Manager.
* Plugin B is out of date. Vendor provides a link to a page that contains information on how to update. Can get to that page from the Addons Manager.
* Plugin C is out of date. SUMO has a support article on how to update it. Can get to that page from the Addons Manager.
* Plugin X is up to date. User sees this and is overcome with joy.
== Designs ==
[[Image:Plugincheck-integration.png]]
== Test Plans ==
Most (if not all) of this should be able to be automated with browser-mochitest tests and a fake PFS/PFS2 server.
== Goals ==
* Should be able to tell which plugins are out of date, and figure out how to update them from within the addons manager.
== Non-Goals ==
* Installing and updating of all plugins via XPI hosted on AMO (long-term plan?).
== Other Stuff ==
TBA.
