Details

I don't think this is bug 291413, but I might be wrong. Also, not sure that this goes under "Public Pages", since it's about ratings, but please do punt as needed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1/cat:93?show=10&sort=rated&page=3 2. Click on individual add-ons and compare their number of stars with the number of reviews (those that have ratings) Actual Results: With 5/5 stars, "Smart Link" has two reviews; later on, "Duplicate Tab" has 5/5 stars, with 11 reviews. Expected Results: It seems like an add-on with _more_ reviews would garner a higher ranking/placement with the same number of stars. (Maybe this really is bug 291413, but we'll see...)
Actually, the stars do not accurately reflect the rating. The actual rating values are calculated as a number with one decimal (it's science), so 4.9 vs. 4.8 will probably both lead to five stars being shown.
Yeah it turned out to be a dupe. Sorry, Stephen :)
