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
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-8: addon update (at browser start)
PATH-9: Firefox minor update/add-on compatibility check
PATH-10: Firefox major update/add-on compatibility check
(is it any different than PATH-10?)
