Build Identifier: 

Apologies if this has already been filed (I looked) or is not a bug, but when you click the default preview on an add-on's AMO page, the image overlay has no left or right arrows to navigate to previous or next image previews. All of the previews in the Image Gallery further down the page have this.

I'm wondering if this was a conscious decision, but it seems to me that if someone clicks the default preview it would be convenient to be able to easily navigate to subsequent image previews, just like you can in the Image Gallery

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to an add-on page on AMO with multiple image previews
2. Click the default image preview at the top of the page
3. Notice that there are no arrows to navigate to other image previews

That is reproducable, but I don`t think it's a bug. That is a larger preview of a default image.

Agreed, however, the larger previews in the Image Gallery have controls (left and right arrows) to enable the user to navigate to other enlarged previews, which is very nice. I think people generally like this. The default preview, for some reason, however, does not.

If I remember correctly, the default preview image had a right arrow to switch to the first image in the Image Gallery some time ago (that is, the default preview was considered as the first in the sequence of images).  Does anyone know when it changed?  Was the change intentional?

Probably in the new design.  It's not intentional.

I can confirm this. There's even an inconsistency in the close buttons for both dialogs.
I think it'd be best if the main image opens the preview navigator in the index that it corresponds to. It's probably not too hard to do considering the current behavior.

Platform -> ALL
Windows 95 is too close :P
