427160 - Clicking "Advanced Details" should expand the section

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5428
2. Click "Advanced Details" near the bottom.

Result: Nothing happens.  Looking around for another few seconds, I eventually find the tiny "expand" link.

Expected: Clicking "Advanced Details" should expand the section.

I think hiding this section is pointless in the first place.  We're giving into a myth that less info on the page is better...

I think so too: It's easy enough to ignore at the bottom by people who don't care, but it seems like a huge hassle for people looking for something specific to go down there, expand it, and then find out what's actually in there.

Furthermore, I believe everybody's curious, so chances are, even the people who shouldn't care about that content click on the expand button at least once (because the section title is not specific enough to tell them if they care or not), thus reducing the simplifying effect.

As please consider as part of the add-on details page design. Let's keep the Adv Details open by default
