716342 - Filter themes by platform and Firefox version

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Chas Belov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111220165912

Steps to reproduce:

Tools > Add-ons > Appearance > Get add-ons > See all themes and personas > Retro > Top rated, then cursor over themes that look interesting.


Actual results:

Most of the themes have the message "Not available for your platform" or "Not available for Firefox 9.0.1"


Expected results:

Only themes for Firefox 9.0.1 Mac show in the results.

Note: Search does allow filtering by 9.0 and Mac, but doesn't provide previews of themes, so it is not a suitable workaround, given the large number of themes to sort through.

Note: I took a guess on the version. How does one determine the version of addons.mozilla.org? (Separate bug)

I'd agree that being able to filter the normal AMO listing pages by OS compatibility. This would be helpful to users trying to find add-ons that are compatible with their Firefox and it would provide incentive to users to make their add-ons compatible with other OSes.

Thanks for filing this.  Due to resource constraints we are closing bugs which we won't realistically be able to fix.  If you have a patch that applies to this bug please reopen.
