Madhava worked on redesigning the add-ons manager in 2007, and posted his work [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Add-ons_Manager_UI here]. 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. | Madhava worked on redesigning the add-ons manager in 2007, and posted his work [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Add-ons_Manager_UI here].

For the purposes of development, this wiki is explicitly separating the visual design of the add-ons manager with the interaction design. The visual design section will have the most up-to-date mockups of how the add-ons manager will look, and the interaction design section will have the most up-to-date mockups of how the add-ons manager will behave. The reason for this separation is so that smaller changes to the design will not require re-doing all of the interaction design mockups. It can be assumed that the interaction mockups are up-to-date insofar as the highlighted behavior is effected. | |||
