User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to find a nice theme

Actual results:

i went to the about:addons and looked at the suggestions. I did not find anything I liked. I wanted to check out more options but did not have anything specific in mind

Expected results:

There should have been a button or link labelled something like [more] in the "Themes" section of about:addons.

This issue also applies if a user can't remember the name of an extension they wish to install. Therefore, I think this is bad UX and should be changed.

(I can't be the only person who has an easier time remembering icons rather than names)

There's a button at the bottom of the Recommendations tab, but we should likely have it on the Extensions and Themes tabs too.

The templates related to this button are in the aboutaddons.html file [1]. Searching for the template names should find any relevant code in aboutaddons.js.

If someone is looking to work on this I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
