372815 - The Homepage button next to the Add-on name should have some text "Official website of <Extension Name">

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Philip Chee]

In AMO v2 at the bottom of each entry is a text link that says "View the homepage for this add-on."
<https://addons.mozilla.org/mozilla/433/>

In Remora/v3 there is an obscure and highly ambiguous graphical icon/button that is a link to the homepage:
<http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433>

This is totally undiscoverable to those of us who aren't graphically inclined (I tend to ignore graphical elements on a page that look like they are just for decoration).

Please include some text that alerts the viewer that this is indeed:
1. A link.
2. A link to the add-on homepage.

mao suggests "Official website of Extension Name".

I have to agree with this. That home page icon is so pointlessly small and undiscoverable that it is pointless. I had myself wondering where the "Go to Homepage" link that used to be prominent went. Please fix this and either keep the homepage icon but textually add the "go to this extension's homepage" somewhere else. Or move both the icon and the textual description to a new area on the page.

Another vote for a text link. (You can still keep the lil cottage)

This is fixed on trunk and will go online with the redesign. Thanks for bearing with us :)
