He also [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Add-ons_Manager_UI_interim_rev2 designed much of the current add-ons manager] for Firefox 3, which is largely unchanged today.

'''Tier One: ''' <br> '''Basic Functionality'''<br>Minimum features needed for usable add-ons manager, would substantially change in any redesign, incorporation of newer forms of add-ons (jetpacks, personas) cannot happen without. The functionality here is not provided anywhere outside of the add-ons manager

'''Tier Three''':<br> '''Enhancements<br>'''Features that are currently barely present in add-ons manager but could provide substantial value to users. The functionality provided by these is available outside of the add-ons manager, but could be provided within it
