;5. How do we display add-ons that have just been installed (during this session and those that were installed last session but needed a restart)?

::::Downloading add-ons display only in the categories that they will end up in.  For the next three sessions, these add-ons show at the top of a category, and an icon marks that these add-ons are "new."

;7. How do we notify users that application Crabtree has installed an add-on into Firefox and what choices do we give them?

::::The next time the user starts the browser, they see a notification telling them that Crabtree has installed an add-on.  This notification provides a link both to remove the add-on and to view it.  The way this notification displays will depend on how the notification redesign project goes.  Currently such a notification would displays as a yellow bar that grows down out of the toolbar.

;8. How do we let users select different categories of add-ons?

::::They click one (I may not be understanding the question, your honor)

;9. How do we notify users that the new version of Firefox they have started has had to disable some of their add-ons?

::::If the Firefox release is a major update, installed via wizard from Firefox, we do a diagnostic and warn them which add-ons will not be compatible.  When the browser starts, we give a notification (see question 7 about unknown design) with the names of the add-ons and a link to the add-ons manager.  The add-ons manager will display the now disabled add-ons with a notification on each that they were disabled because of compatibility.

;10. How does the UI demonstrate that users can only choose to display a single theme at a time?

::::I don't know yet.  Design due 2/4/2010

;11. How do Personas and Themes live together?

::::I don't know yet.  Design due 2/4/2010

;12. How does installing an add-on from AMO work, for add-ons that need a restart and ones that don't?

::::[[File:Download install amo.png]]

;13. How are multiple screenshots for a single add-on displayed in the extension manager?

::::[[File:Multipleimages.png]]

;14. How are multiple developers handled?

::::Multiple developers for an add-on is relatively rare, since teams largest than one person usually list the name of a company or group.  If there are multiple names, using the same default order as AMO is fine.
