Details

When I click App Menu > Add-ons, a tab called "Add-ons Manager" appears. I believe that this title is grammatically incorrect, and that it should be "Add-on Manager". Here are some analogies: dogs breeder --> dog breeder cars salesman --> car salesman weddings planner --> wedding planner

The reporter has a point. More relevant examples might be Task Manager, Error Console. The first noun is describing the second noun, and so it shouldn't be plural. A couple of random website references: http://www.english-zone.com/grammar/adjective3.html http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/noun-as-adjective.html On the other hand, Firefox has always had a Bookmarks Menu.
Alex, limi, what do you guys think about this?
Works for me
(In reply to comment #3) > Works for me Do you mean it should remain as Add-ons Manger or be changed to Add-on Manager?
