When there's a detail page it should have inline add-on preferences when they are provided by the add-on.

My feedback as an add-on dev: IMHO it would be best if you could just add a tab "settings" at the top of that new UI.
Currently, the plan is to just add it at the bottom of the "details" tab, is not it? (if I understood it correctly)

The advantage of another tab I see: I personally write very long add-pn descriptions. And currently users have to scroll down a lot just to get to see the options, because these long descriptions are shown before.

The inline options are in a tab, like the permissions.
