Well this is what I expected clicking on "All extensions" would do but of course
it has a 50 extension per page limit.  Something like
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/lofiversion/index.php/f2.html would be nice (or
if anyone rmembers the old texturizer site...)

Why?  Find as you type makes it easy to find keywords in an extension you're
looking for.

Note that this is for the beta site update-beta.mozilla.org!

Its broken into pages for page loading times, not because of the absense of
FAYT. (Which, not everybody uses because its annoying to some people.)

In theory, an "All" could be added, which would force the list page to a more
condensed view. Not by default, but as an option. The list view would be title,
author, short description only.

Duplicate of bug 254953 ?

Comment 4

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

In the meantime, a workaround that Wolf kindly told us on IRC is to add a
numpg=500 parameter (or any other big number). here's how the resulting URL
looks for me:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&category=&numpg=500&os=windows&version=1.0&submit=Update

IMO, it's not a duplicate of bug 254953, although it's related in the sense of
comment 2.

That's cool Nikolay!  Thanks Wolf :)

Now it is limited to 10 per page.

The new site lets you pick up to 50, and is more search based.  Look for AMO 2.0 soon.
