(Whiteboard: [feature-scope])

There are some places that will open the add-on manager, namely browser actions, page actions (?) and the link in the about:preferences sidebar. These use the BrowserOpenAddonsMgr() API in browser.js. We don't want to break that API so confirm that it still works or fix it.

Summary: Ensure the BrowserOpenAddonsMgr API still works → [about:addons] Ensure the BrowserOpenAddonsMgr API still works
Type: enhancement → task

BrowserOpenAddonsMgr is used by unit tests and also internally by runtime.openOptionsPage. I have confidence that the API still works with the current version of HTML about:addons, because the view management logic is still in the XUL page.

When the top-level document is replaced with HTML (bug 1525179), the view management logic will probably change significantly, and we would then have to revisit this bug. But if the API were to be broken, I would expect it to already be noticed due to failing tests.
