Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, enhancement)

Description

[Arnold]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; sv-SE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; sv-SE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

This is just a tweak.
I can reach the extensions etc for each application, but I would expect that the
icons of each application was a link to a site where I could download the
application. For instance I have Firefox and would like to start using Thunderbird. 
So... now I have to search for it instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the Firefox icon
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
followinf link to get-firefox-site

Please provide step-by-step instructions, being detailed about where you see the
icon that you're clicking.

Are you referring to the icons in the blue bar?  In that case, I'll turn this
into an RFE: header icons should link to product homepages.

That's exactly what I meant.

IMO they should link to the homepage for addons for that application, which is what they do now. That's the standard procedure for site banners and doing otherwise would confuse users.
