379144 - Missing categories

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Administration, defect)

Description

[Emil Hesslow]

I have two extensions which before was placed under "Editing and Forms" and "Kiosk Browsing". But in the new system I don't think any of those fit in any of the existing Firefox categories.

My extensions are:
Check All: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2708
Auto Reset Browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/616

In the Thunderbird categories there are a Miscellaneous-category and I think it would be good to have that for Firefox extensions also. Because there will never be a time where the categories cover every single extension.

And because I don't want to pick a category that the extension don't fit in I can't change the info about the extension because it complains that I haven't picked any category.

I think "Check All" could go into "Interface Customizations"? (At least, it would fit there equally as well as in "Miscellaneous").

For Auto Reset Browser, we probably do need a Kiosk Browsing category, provided there are others that fit in there as well.

Do we want to create a "Kiosk Browsing" category then?

We've got a "Miscellaneous" category now, although I'd like to discourage it's use.  I'm not sure there are enough kiosk add-ons to justify another category (but I haven't really searched either).

I agree - we should not have a Kiosk category for now and I have placed both of these into the "Interface Customizations" category. Nobody browses "Miscellaneous" the category looking for something - they'll use a search instead. Closing as resolved.
