In trying to redesign the Firefox 3 Add-Ons Manager UI (AMUI), the team has found that it would be useful to document the various user interaction paths. It should help simplify testing and uncover wacky edge cases.

  • To Do: document for each of these flows
    • What is the UI screen flow
    • Decide where user notification is needed (and where in the UI it is provided)
    • Include the full cycle (including the UI post restart)
    • Consider if Firefox behaves differently if the addon were a Themes or Plugin

PATH-1: install an add-on

1a: Install from the web

1b: Install from within the Add-ons Manager
