The goal of AMO Version 3.2 is to radically simplify the add-ons experience for end users thru better navigation, recategorization and site design.

Navigation / Page Design

Category Revision

The goal of the category revision is to help eliminate the confusion associated with the various "Add-On" types. These types may remain but will not be a primary distinguisher of an add-on. The type may continue to be indicated (e.g. on SRPs) but the functionality offering should be the bigger emphasis.

Search Changes

ID Priority Requirement Assignee Bug/Design links
SRCH-1 P1 Visually indicate experimental add-ons in Search Results
SRCH-2 P1 Include title, category and description as valid search terms. SRP can include individual addons (all types) as well as category names or content from the addon description (not just the addon summary).
SRCH-3 P1 Manually review top 50 searches and see if expected results are shown, otherwise, tweak to include more targeted results.

Image viewer

Replace the existing thumbnail viewer with a lightbox style viewer. Implement Image Viewer (IMG-1) bug 396743

Experimental Login Flow Page

If an add-on is experimental, we want people to know about it but also to be wary of doing such installations. A new flow of installing a sandbox'ed extension will be defined.

Application segregation

ID Priority Requirement Assignee Bug/Design links
APP-1 P1 Create staging and production instances of AMO v3.1 for Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Sunbird
  • Doesn't appear to be required since the AMO app already has clear code and database separation
  • Eng has suggested that the application segregation be achieved without creation of separate instances.
APP-2 P1 Remove the existing "Application Selector" from the current AMO site and demote it to a small link at the bottom of the page. Include application names as a special search result.
APP-3 P1 Preserve (as much as possible) the old URL scheme for accessing addons content since people link directly to AMO detail pages
