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

PATH-2: install a theme

PATH-3: install multiple addons

PATH-4: install and then backout/cancel

PATH-5: uninstall

PATH-6: uninstall and then backout/cancel

PATH-7: addon update (in browser)

PATH-7: addon update (at browser start)

PATH-8: Firefox minor update/add-on compatibility check

PATH-9: Firefox major update/add-on compatibility check

(is it any different than PATH-8?)

PATH-10: Review recommended list (in AMUI)

PATH-11: Search for addons (from AMUI)
