Clicking anywhere on the card for the extension that isn't already a control should open the details page. The styling is similar to that of the about:newtab tiles and cards so this should be intuitive to users.

We had considered including a More button but decided not to so that the cards can stay a bit smaller. Adding another button would require moving all the buttons under the add-on name which would make for some fairly large cards.

about:newtab tiles has a tree dots icon with tooltip(Open Menu) when mouse hover over the tile.

Okay, then, I say that please add the tree dots icon as same as about:newtab so that I will discover it more easily.

The three dots in about:newtab gives you a menu which we don't have in about:addons. Clicking on not-the-dots takes you to the thing that the card represents.

Adding a tooltip could be useful, I can look into that. It looks like "addon.details.tooltip" would work.

I think that new addon manager is confusing.
Interactive widget(Options/Disable/Remove button) in interactive widget(tile).

Nested interactive widget....  is obviously strange, isn't it?

Where did this strange UI standard/specification come from?
