This string will be used as the alt and title text for the recommended icon
in about:addons. The patch to add the image will follow, once we have a way
of identifying add-ons that were recommended.

Not exactly happy, but I won't block on it.

I'd like to have a better understanding of what the plan is for about:addons on 68, given the dependencies of bug 1533795, and the amount of things that landed during the soft freeze.

I'd like to have a better understanding of what the plan is for about:addons on 68, given the dependencies of
bug 1533795, and the amount of things that landed during the soft freeze.

The major effort here is (and has been) converting about:addons from XUL to HTML. This has been in process since 66. The consternation is about when we should have enabled this by default (to which the answer is probably before beta merge, but we did not); preffing it on should happen when it's "good enough" -- but the line we've been walking is whether to enable with things that are not yet there (and subject QA to that delay) or leave it pref'd off until those pieces are in place (those are the uplifts). Most of those things are either small or a subset of other things that landed (like recommendations in list view), but the reality is that this is the intersection of the new release process, an ESR, and the HTML conversion.

This one, however, is for getting a string in as early as possible (now) for patches that will land later (this week or next) around showing which extensions are recommended in the client. That was not going to land prior to beta in order to wait for the autograph pieces to enforce our signing process, which either landed late last week or will land this week.

It's admittedly not been the smoothest process, but it's the best we've been able to do with the staffing and demands we have for 68.

This issue is Verified as Fixed on Firefox 69.0a1 (20190617214029) under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6.

To verify the validity of the fix, the following prefs have been modified as follows:

• xpinstall.signatures.required – false
• xpinstall.signatures.dev-root – true
• extensions.getAddons.discovery.api_url - https://services.addons-dev.allizom.org/api/v4/discovery/?lang=%LOCALE%

Furthermore, for test purposes, several add-ons from dev have been marked with the recommended tag and pushed to the list of recommended addons displayed on about:addons.

When the above conditions are met, the ‘Recommended’ badge and the ‘Recommended’ string upon hovering over the badge are displayed.

However, while validating the fix, one potential issue has been encountered. We observed that the badge and string for recommended themes which are installed, are not displayed. For further details, please refer to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1559895.
