Open issues/risks
- Determine where to retrieve latest plugin info from. Possibilities:
- PFS2
- New API provided by PluginCheck
- PFS1
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Integrate Plugin Check with installed plugins in the Add-ons Manager.
2. Users & 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- Plugin A is out of date.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- Plugin B is out of date.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- Plugin C is out of date.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.

Most (if not all) of this should be able to be automated with browser-mochitest tests and a fake PFS/PFS2 server.
